Fresh from the Farm...
Koinonia Delivers Freshest Local Herbs to Giant and Whole Foods!  The season has begun at Koinonia Organic Farm on the property at Gramercy! Heather and Francisco, our farm managers, and their amazing team have begun harvesting, packaging and delivering a variety of culinary herbs to local warehouses for distribution. Look for our label at Giant and Whole Foods.
Currently available for purchase: spearmint, thyme, chives, garlic chives, cilantro, sorrel, rosemary, oregano, marjoram & tarragon
Coming soon: dill, parsley & basil
Koinonia is also in the process of application and inspection for the USDA GAP Harmonized Food Safety Standard. By receiving this certification, we will be the first Maryland farm to achieve that goal and raise the standards for all other Maryland farmers... exciting! We'll keep you posted.
Other Buzz...
We are also excited to now have a bee hive on the property. If all goes well, we'll be harvesting honey for our B&B guests to enjoy this time next year! Yum!
