Birders and nature lovers gathered yesterday at Bonton Farms Extension Farm in Dallas, Texas for a community birding event in partnership with the Trinity River Audubon Center. The morning walk highlighted the incredible diversity of bird species thriving in South Dallas, from colorful songbirds to soaring raptors. Events like this showcase how urban farms and conservation spaces in Dallas support local wildlife and connect residents to nature in their own neighborhoods.

Bonton Farms hosted a Partner Luncheon with South Dallas leaders to strengthen partnerships advancing food access, health, and community impact.

Bonton Farms Welcomes New President & CEO, Mark Jones

We are thrilled to announce that Mark Jones has been selected as the new President and Chief Executive Officer of Bonton Farms, marking an exciting new chapter in our mission to cultivate health, wholeness, and opportunity in South Dallas.

Our hearts are full after celebrating our Seedtime & Harvest Apprenticeship graduates, a workforce and personal development journey that blends hands-on training with holistic support and the learning of life skills.

These individuals showed up with courage, put in the work, and rooted themselves in ways that will reap a harvest for generations to come. What starts with planting seeds and tending soil becomes a journey of rebuilding and rediscovering what's possible. Congratulations to our graduates!

A community gathering at Bonton Farms brought together classic cars, neighbors, and the Dallas Police Department for a day of connection, good food, and outdoor fun. Read the full recap.
