Bonton Farms Welcomes New President & CEO, Mark Jones
The Answer was a FARM
Like seeds planted on a farm, everyone is born with great potential, but their futures depend on the right nutrients. Since emancipation, Bonton residents have been denied essential components to healthy well-being and opportunity. Bonton Farms exists to impact neighborhood nutrients at the root level to empower the community to reach its potential.
