We are one of three active dairies in the county and the only maker of cow cheese. Our flours are milled right on the farm from wheat and corn. We are a multi-generational family farm involved in programs such as the Million Acre Challenge focusing on soil health and the county's farm to food bank program.

Krios Coffee
Matthiew Feder, Founder
Vitamin infused smart coffee to fuel your day!
Coffee has always been an essential part of fueling my day. Back in college, the only way to power through juggling three jobs, a rigorous class load, and extracurriculars was coffee. Each morning, I looked forward to that delicious first sip to wake up. Before I knew it, I was going through multiple cups a day to avoid the dreaded midday crash. Not long after, it started causing jitters and anxiety. After some discussions with Vincent Eberhart and Nick Perilli, I realized I wasn’t alone. We thought, if coffee is such an integral part of our lives and everything else is innovating so quickly around us, why can’t coffee too?
We got right to work and started collaborating with a team of expert nutritionists to come up with a smarter coffee. Our goal was a delicious brew that gives you clean lasting energy without the jitters, anxiety, and midday crash. After over a year of research and taste tests, we did exactly that….and more. Not only does Kríos Coffee reduce the negative side effects of normal coffee, you also get additional focus, brain power, cognitive functioning, and health benefits WITHOUT sacrificing taste. Including it in your morning routine is a true game changer to get things done.
Each day we are striving to bring more productivity and health into everyone’s life one cup at a time. We’d love for you to try some today and feel the benefits yourself! www.krioscoffee.com. We are always looking for mutually beneficial partnerships. Please reach out at matt@krioscoffee.com!

Paste & Rind Cheese Co.
Kara McGrath, Founder
If you can dream it, we will cheese it!
Paste & Rind Cheese Co. is an artisan cheese business, based in Washington, DC. A gathering space for cheese and wine enthusiasts, we specialize in experiences focused on cheese and charcuterie collections, perfectly paired with beverage (read: wine) and accompaniment options. We also offer retail cheese for local delivery or pick up from our kitchen space in NE DC. Whether it be guided tastings, custom gift boxes, beautiful displays, or cheese for straight up snacking, if you can dream it, we will cheese it.
Kara McGrath is the founder, owner, and head cheesemonger of Paste & Rind Cheese Co. After graduating from the University of Maryland, College Park with Government and International Development degrees, Kara spent the next six years in the international development world where she traveled, managed millions of dollars worth of USAID programming, and provided Gender and Social Inclusion support to women across the globe. In 2019, Kara left her development career to work as a cheesemonger, caterer, studio manager and eventually co-owner at Cheesemonster Studio, a cheese catering and retail shop, fulfilling a lifelong dream of owning a cheese shop. In 2021, with Cheesemonster Studio forced into an untimely close, Kara set off on her own and started Paste & Rind Cheese Co., focusing on cheese box collections, catering, and tastings. Despite her ever expanding cheese repertoire, her favorite cheese will always be Harbison from Jasper Hill Farm in Greensboro, Vermont- a cheese so good, it topped her wedding “cake”.
