Dear Friends of the Farms,
The Charles Koiner Conservancy for Urban Farming (CKC) is excited to host its fifth annual Harvest Dinner & Dance at our beautiful Koiner Farm, in support of our programming that promotes nutritious food, social-emotional connections, and resilient communities. This signature event will feature our intimate urban farm setting with delicious food and beverages, under a canopy of twinkling lights nestled among vibrant Downtown Silver Spring.
An anticipated 100+ neighbors and community leaders will gather for a farm-to-table meal followed by light-hearted community dances led by a professional. Prior to the dance, our sponsors are invited to join us for special reception, with small group tours of the farm and a signature cocktail.​
​​​
Sponsorships are now available and ticket will go on sale in August!
​​
We hope you'll join us!

Sponsors and donors are vital to our work! They help us pay farmers, outdoor educators, and community organizers a livable wage. This sustains our programs and ensures long term stewardship of the farms and gardens within our network. It also helps us expand to new sites and new neighborhoods so that help people of all ages, incomes, and backgrounds have the opportunity to come together and connect with their land, their food and each other!
When you support our Harvest Dance, you are giving local communities the ability to...
-
grow healthy food to feed neighbors in need,
-
protect their ecological resources,
-
build community resilience,
-
support a more sustainable food system,
-
work alongside people from diverse backgrounds,
-
and form last friendships.
The Harvest Dance is a celebration of this work!
​

​
Thank you to all who support this work!
We are grateful for all of our sponsors, our donors, and funders who support programs at Koiner Farm!
