A Place of Peace We work to create an environment and a rhythm of life conducive to prayer and contemplation. We dedicate our lives to non-violence, and to the pursuit of peace and reconciliation of all people.
A Place of Service Service is born out of our life together. Service takes place on and off the farm often in the many small ways we help each other and others. Guests often join us in our work and service.
A Place of Community Koinonia, a Greek New Testament word, means “communion,” “community” or “fellowship.” Like the first Christians, we worship, work, study, serve, live and eat together.
A Place of Farming Sustainably Koinonia is committed to growing healthy food in healthy soil. We work to care for the earth using practices that are non-toxic.
Come and See! We welcome you to visit!
And welcome to our new website. We continue to transfer content from our old site so come back often to explore — we're almost 75 years old so there is much to transfer! Explore our site and plan a visit to our community. We are a house of hospitality and we would love to welcome you to the farm.
“Offering welcome is basic to Christian identity and character,” writes scholar Christine Pohl. Koinonia has been extending hospitality to all since 1942.

Out of our life together comes service to others. Our focus is to Feed the Hungry both physically and spiritually. We are able to do that both on and off the farm through the various projects listed below. We invite you to read about the work being done. Please know we appreciate your prayers and support.
Prayer is central to our life together here at Koinonia Farm. Submit your prayer request online and know our community will pray for your intentions.
Your help to secure any items on our wish list is most appreciated.
For those who would like to combine a visit with work on the farm, it is time to make your reservations and travel plans. We may assign you to the bakery, to one of our three pecan plants or send you to enjoy one of our beautiful pecan orchards.
