Description

Description: In this episode of Going Big, host Kevin Gentry welcomes Daron Babcock, the visionary behind Bonton Farms, one of America’s largest urban farming movements and a national model for restorative community development.


After enduring profound personal loss and battling addiction, Daron rebuilt his life by choosing to serve others. He didn’t launch a grand plan. He simply showed up in a neighborhood most people overlooked. What began as one garden on an empty lot in South Dallas has blossomed into a thriving ecosystem of dignity, jobs, health, housing, and hope.


Bonton Farms is more than a farm. It’s about rewriting stories, restoring potential, and proving that one act of compassion can transform a community.


If you’ve ever wondered what following your calling can do for you, this conversation is your answer.


(Also, you can watch a short video about Eddie, who Daron mentions joined them at Bonton Farms, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLNGkLxWG7A).
