Seedtime to Harvest Apprenticeship
At Bonton Farms, the Seedtime to Harvest Apprenticeship engages an individual in the process of acquiring new skills that lead to greater self-actualization and workforce development. Each Apprentice's journey will begin by working on the farm as a Farming Apprentice. We believe starting as a Farming Apprentice can help develop a wide range of transferable skillsets that are applicable to various professional industries beyond agriculture, and offers numerous benefits, which support the organization's mission and core values, including:

• Hands-on Learning
• Problem Solving
• Time Management
• Real-World Experience
• Teamwork and Collaboration
• Attention to Detail
• Adaptability
• Skill Development
• Leadership
• Environmental Awareness
• Mentorship / Guidance
• Personal and Professional Growth

The Bonton Farms Seedtime and Harvest Apprenticeship Program is a peer driven program designed to achieve self-actualization. The Program endorses a relational, transformative, person-centered approach to empower, educate, and equip on the (7) Human Essentials, which are based on the social determinants of health and their workforce development needs.
The (7) Human Essentials are Transportation, Education, Access to Financial Tools, Community, Health & Wellness, Economic Stability, and Safe and Affordable Housing (T.E.A.C.H.E.S.). Bonton Farms uses the acronym, T.E.A.C.H.E.S., as a convenient and effective way to streamline our communication, enhance clarity, and facilitate memory recall regarding the importance of the Human Essentials. Apprentices will be exposed and educated on these concepts through a classroom type of environment in which they attend several times a week.
Here are three concepts to the Apprenticeship Program important for you to know:
Self-actualization is a concept that refers to the realization or fulfillment of your potential, talents, and abilities. It represents the desire to become the most that you can be, and to achieve personal growth and fulfillment.
Social determinants of health are the social, economic, and environmental factors that influence an individual's health outcomes and overall well-being. These factors include socioeconomic status, education, employment, housing, access to healthcare, social support networks, and environmental conditions. Understanding and addressing social determinants of health are crucial for promoting health equity and improving population health.
Workforce development refers to the systematic process of preparing you to enter, succeed in, and advance within the labor market by providing you with the education, training, skills, and support needed to meet the demands of employers and contribute effectively to the economy.

What is Bonton?
For the last 200 years, racial injustice and systemic oppression prevented opportunities in Bonton, a community in South Dallas, that were a given elsewhere. People here experienced higher rates of diabetes, stroke and cancer, and 48% of residents lived in poverty. Residents have been denied access to the seven human essentials that are necessary to survive and thrive - health & wellness, economic stability, safe and affordable housing, transportation, a sense of belonging, education and access to fair credit. Today, the community is transforming, and healing is coming from within.
Who We Are
Bonton Farms is on a mission is to transform lives by disrupting systems of inequity, laying a foundation where health, wholeness, and opportunity are the norm for all people. While many nonprofits work to solve one issue, Bonton Farms focuses on place-based interventions to build community capacity for long-term change. As the ecosystem of community resources improves, the neighbors in Bonton use these resources to build successful, self-sufficient lives, ultimately interrupting the impact of decades of disenfranchisement. Bonton Farms' programs focus on the all of the seven human essentials that the community has been denied for so long. We invite you to come and join us in the transformation!
