Our objective is to continuously provide opportunities for people with disabilities to not only learn skills but earn wages. Many of us take our ability to earn our paycheck for granted. Employment and the ability to work is a privilege. We have made it our mission to provide paid internships for people with impairments and disabilities.We are located in the southwest corner of Tarrant County, just west of Benbrook. Out here on the westside, we have a small, independent grocery store, a garden, and a kitchen. In our store, Stone’s Throw Texas Grocery, we offer our home-grown produce, along with fruit and vegetables from small farms all over Texas. We also source meats, dairy, honey, salsa, eggs, and snacks that are made or grown in our great state. In our kitchen, we make our pickles and jams.Stone’s Throw Farm Co’s mission is to empower and train individuals with disabilities through providing support-based unpaid internships. These internships can and do lead to paid employment, including shifts in our kitchen, garden, retail store, and our mobile farm stand that services the Fort Worth area. We call these individuals “interns.” Currently, we have 20 interns, ages 17 to 46. They help us harvest, plant, maintain our ever-expanding growing operation, make pickles and jams in our kitchen. They also help us with stocking, cleaning, inventory counting, cashiering, and customer service in our store location and farm stands. An intern transitions to a paid employee when they demonstrate the ability to work independently. We are always looking to obtain funding to create more paid employment opportunities for our current and future interns. To support an underserved segment of our community, by providing work opportunities for individuals with impairments or disabilities and support for the people beside them.MISSION STATEMENT2025 CHARITY OF CHOICE

We’re proud to be part of Pinnacle Bancorp, which operates 167 locations in eight states: Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, New Mexico, Texas and Wyoming. We face the future with condence, knowing we have a rm foundation built on strong values. Our banks are led by managers who make local decisions and run their banks with their communities in mind.
