John Poston, Michael’s father and the founder of Daymark Living, started the tulip farm after he grew frustrated with companies that wouldn’t hire people like his son, who has Down syndrome.

“They would not hire people with IDD,” he said, “and I was trying to think of how best to get exposure for Daymark Living and the residents.”

“I sincerely think Poston Gardens and Daymark have the ability to support each other emotionally and financially in many ways.”

A portion of the farm’s profits fund scholarships for Daymark residents like Riley Niesen.

“His sense of responsibility around his volunteering at Poston Gardens, maintaining his own cottage and developing his plan around how a vocational job will intertwine with his life at Daymark continue to grow each day,” Davila Niesen said.
