Meet Koa, our CKC puppy mascot 🐾 If you’ve ever visited the Thursday Market at Koiner Farm, you’ve probably said hello to Koa 🐶

Our neighbor Zach shared with us why Koiner Farm is so special to Koa:

“Koiner Farm has truly been Koa’s favorite place since we moved to Silver Spring. Even though she is 15 now and can’t always handle long walks, she still tries to steer us toward the farm every time we step outside. She has always been a people person. Now that she’s older it’s a little harder to tell that but I think part of her excitement for the farm comes from knowing there will be neighbors hanging out and enjoying the outdoors together.

While Koa definitely loves Lynn’s dog treats, a fun fact is that she also loves vegetables, especially the brassica family like cabbage and broccoli. For years, I’ve actually cooked vegetables for her alongside our own meals, and every time I shop at the farmstand, I’m really shopping for her as much as for the rest of the household. I think she honestly knows those bags are for her! You can often find her hanging out by the farmstand or farmers market tables, keeping a close eye out for any stray vegetable scraps that might fall.”

Yesterday evening was a wonderful night of community as we hosted both the Takoma Park/Silver Spring Co-Op spring members meeting AND the Department of Environmental Protection for our community compost workshop and to introduce our new Compost Manager.

We even had a surprise guest, as Joe Himali of came for a visit and we happily shared everything we know and love about our favorite little farm.

Thank you everyone for making such a memorable night!
