Bonton Farm is an urban farm in South Dallas.  It brings jobs and healthy food to an area where there aren't enough of either.  However, Bonton Farms brings so much more.  It is a beacon of hope and a gathering place where a sense of community and identity can be regained. The market, cafe  and coffee shop are meeting places for friends from all over the metroplex.  If you have not had a chance to visit , I encourage you to get to know this special part of our city. This gift box contains Bonton Farms Honey, Honey Butter (the best food you'll ever taste, according to my students), and goats' milk soap.  Shop for your gift box and other fun items HERE.

The inspiration behind the name of this candle is from the founder of Redeemed Women: Aelicia Watson, also known as Chocolate. This candle, while titled "Chocolate", doesn’t smell like chocolate at all. In fact, it’s a combination of cactus flower, lime, coconut, and vanilla. 

Our hope is that you will enjoy the delicious benefits from this candle and when someone asks you why it doesn’t smell like chocolate, you can tell them about Redeemed Women and how Chocolate is spreading the love of Jesus and helping women in South Dallas, TX. Proceeds from your candle purchase will support Redeemed women.  Order your candle HERE. Learn more about Redeemed women HERE.
