Dear Friends,Thank you for ordering from Koinonia Farm. Whether you select from our tasty selection of food items, from the wide variety of craft items or from our stimulating list of DVDs and books, know that your purchase helps to fund the work that we do in the service of others.

I especially want to call your attention to two new books. A must read is “The Class of 1965” by Jim Auchmutey,

that tells the story of Greg Wittkamper’s experience during the integration of Americus High School. And know that Ann Truesdale’s “Cotton Patch Rebel,” beautifully illustrated by Tracy Newton, is a perfect choice for the adolescents in your life. See page 12 for both publications.

We have begun a new partnership with Wow! Hand Soaps. See page 9 to learn more about their line of hand-crafted soaps and their ministry with youth in Nashville, Tn.

We are confident that any selection you make from our catalog will be an excellent one. Please don’t forget to add a monetary gift to your order. All such gifts are tax-deductible. And they, too, help fund Koinonia’s service to others.

Peace and Mercy,

Bren DubaySteward & Director

This year you can feel even better about purchasing our specialty products knowing that you are supporting local, organic, and fair trade farmers and organizations. Our delicious treats are not only socially just, but healthy as well. When you take a bite of our Pecan Pie, you’ll experience all the traditional southern flavor, but none of the corn syrup! You’ll also notice several improvements in our choices of ingredients, like organic sugar and non-GMO expeller pressed canola oil. We know you and your loved ones will taste the care and concern we put into our products.

An update on Bren’s health — As you may know, Bren was diagnosed with breast cancer in June and underwent surgery and radiation treatments. She is doing very well and the prognosis continues to be extremely positive. We all appreciate the outpouring of your prayers and good wishes for her.

Did you know? One ounce of Georgia pecans (about 19 halves) has the same amount of protein as 2 oz of lean meat. Dietary guidelines suggest 2– 2.5 oz of nuts, seeds, and soy products per week. For vegans, that recommendation is 7.5 oz per week. Know your protein!

Got a favorite recipe to share? Send it in with your order or post it on the Koinonia Farm Facebook page.

Factoid:According to the USDA, pecans possess more antioxidant activity than any other tree nut. Antioxidants are naturally occurring substances, such as the polyphenolics found in pecans. They keep in check the potentially harmful effects of free radicals, reactive oxygen species which the body produces from normal metabolism and that are also encountered in the environment. To get a daily dose of these natural antioxidants, try 10 raw pecan halves (a handful) as a snack.

Extending FellowshipYou become much more than a Koinonia Farm supporter when you purchase products from this catalog. You become a player in a much greater story than simple market exchanges. With your purchase, you help make another world possible for the thousands of cocoa farmers, coffee farmers, and Palestinian farmers and women. You provide another way of life for youth in Nashville, and San Francisco. You also provide a living for those we hire, and those we partner with throughout the year. You show the world that we don’t have to sterilize and pillage the soil in order to grow and harvest a crop. You show that another world is coming into existence here and now.

You also make a difference in the lives of thousands upon thousands of people touched by the Koinonia community today. You become a source of enrichment and provision for the spiritual and cultural pilgrims who become Koinonia guests or interns each year! Since 1942, hospitality has remained central to our community life.

Guests come for so many reasons. Some come to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, to learn about the birthplace of Habitat for Humanity and other wonderful ministries, or to get their hands dirty in the soil. Others come to find a place of solace and retreat, to learn from Koinonia’s example of peacemaking, radical sharing, and equality, or to learn about our farming practices. There are many reasons to visit Koinonia. And we hope you find one that fits you!

Each year, we host interns for a year-long experience at Koinonia. We also host various classes and retreats throughout the year. We offer work projects for those who want to help out—college groups, church groups, club groups, etc. We have space to host groups for private workshops or conferences.

Whatever the reason, we’d love to sit at table with you this year as we work together to build a new world, full of freedom, justice, and opportunities for those coming after us.

Share Koinonia products at your office, in your breakroom, at your church, in your neighborhood, at family gathering, during holidays, at the kitchen table, for birthdays and graduations!

Koinonia (Greek for loving community) was founded in 1942 to be a “demonstration plot for the Kingdom of God,” sharing resources, work, and prayer much like the example of early Christians in the Book of Acts.

Our most deeply held belief are drawn from Jesus’ teachings — peacemaking, radical sharing, and brotherhood/sisterhood among people regardless of race. In the 1950’s and 60’s, Koinonia was fiercely reviled for these beliefs. Our mail-order pecan business brought us through years of local boycott, and remains our main source of earned income.

Koinonia is also a haven of down-to-earth theology. Founding member Clarence Jordan was a farmer and a Greek scholar. He penned

the Cotton Patch Version into South Georgia vernacular, seeking to place scripture in the ‘here and now’ of his day. His books and lively sermons are still beloved and well-known today.

Our life of service has taken various forms through the years. In the early days, we extended friendship to our neighbors, mostly Black sharecroppers and tenant farmers. Koinonia gave birth to the partnership housing movement in 1968 that later grew into Habitat for Humanity. Our current focus is on “feeding the hungry”not only physically, but spiritually as well. We grow healthy food, offer internships and workshops, and, as always, welcome people to walk this journey with us. Below is a list of ways you can become part of the story!
