BONTON ENTERPRISES

Bonton Enterprises (operating as Bonton Farms) is a Dallas-based community development nonprofit that uses urban agriculture, social enterprises, and wraparound services to increase food access, create jobs, and stabilize the historically underserved Bonton neighborhood. The organization operates a farmers market, a coffeehouse/market cafe, an extension farm, and a wellness center that together serve as revenue-generating enterprises and training sites for local residents. In recent years Bonton Enterprises has expanded its footprint and services—adding an extension farm and a community Wellness Center while scaling market and café operations—and has secured multi-year philanthropic support to underwrite operations and affordable-housing–adjacent services. The organization emphasizes workforce development, economic opportunity, and neighborhood health as core pathways to long-term community resilience.
