From my notebook:
- Qwen Twiner's brother, Joe, wanted to create more accessible and engaging job options for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, like his sister. He started Peachtree Farms in 2021 to give Qwen, and others with disabilities, a sense of independence. The farm grows and sells fresh produce, eggs from chickens at the farm, and honey from bees kept on site. The State Executive Director, Arthur Tripp, supports Twiner's efforts as he aims to grow and expand his farm with the help of federal grants. (GPB)
