    Farming with Nestor Estrada

    Farming with Nestor Estrada

    Bella Hampton Farm is a sanctuary for compassionate living and sustainable farming. Nestor Estrada and Cesar Aragon started Bella Hampton Farm in 2022, pouring their hearts and sweat into creating a 20-acre haven where animals and people can live happily together. Tackling the challenges of caring for animals who have had a rough start in life, they are worked tirelessly to build a sanctuary that offers love, care, and protection. The farm's goals are the following: Provide a safe haven for neglected and abused farm animals who have been abandoned or discarded because they are considered non-profitable for other farms, offering them the love, care, and protection they deserve. Embrace and promote sustainable farming, producing fresh, high-quality products, and supporting local farmers and artisans. Our farm produces chicken and duck eggs and collaborates with neighboring farms to offer products such as microgreens, bread, jams, jellies, and honey. At Bella Hampton Farm, we believe in the power of hard work, dedication, and kindness. We're all about people, animals, and natural living happily side by side, and we love bringing everyone together to share good food and good times. Our unwavering commitment to a better world for both animals and people has made Bella Hampton Farm a true labor of love.

    Community Organizing with O'Neil Hesson

    Community Organizing with O'Neil Hesson

    The SERUN Foundation strives to provide a comprehensive/ holistic approach to combatting poverty and promote systematic socioeconomic growth within historically underserved and struggling neighborhoods. We began this mission by implementing our first program named Clean the Block Initiative. This initiative is an outreach program that tackles the disproportionate environmental effects on lower income communities. Through this program, our organization has operated in over 30 different communities across DFW and beyond. The SERUN Foundation's primary objective is to organize, equip, and empower community stakeholders while acting as a liaison between the neighborhoods, municipalities, and private investors. Our programs are tailored specifically for the neighborhoods we operate in and provide the necessary resources to tackle the the main issues that afflict the residence; not just the byproducts that stem from those issues. We urge all who've dedicated their lives to fighting injustice to stand with us and rally behind this movement!
