CKC was honored to be a part of the Taino heritage proclamation made by on behalf of the County.

Taino Arawak were the indigenous people Columbus met in 1492, thinking he had landed in India when it was really the Caribbean.

Although the Taino have faced tremendous hardship and discrimination, they have continued to survive through their strength and spirit *Arieto Yukayu Guayiga*

In fact, Maryland is home to over 293,000 Taíno descendants, 22,000 In Montgomery County alone.

Curious about CKC’s namesake? Our friend Marta Martinez recently published an article in Silver Spring Downtown about Charlie Koiner’s legacy.

This article recounts the changing landscape of Montgomery County in the 20th century, Charlie’s determination to preserve an agricultural space, and the importance of Koiner Farm as the first urban farm in Maryland to be permanently preserved through a conservation easement dedicated to urban agriculture.
