About
For an authentic taste of the Big Island's renowned coffee heritage, Bayview Farm Coffee, nestled on the scenic slopes of Hualalai and Mauna Loa in Kona, offers a genuine experience. Cultivating coffee here since 1984, this estate is dedicated to producing 100% Kona coffee, focusing on Arabica Typica beans nurtured in the region's unique volcanic soil. Visitors discover a deep commitment to quality, from their own farm directly to the cup. The story of Bayview Farm is one of passion and pioneering spirit. Founded by Andrew and Roslyn Roy, they were instrumental in educating the public about genuine Kona coffee, establishing the iconic Gazebo in 1994 for free tours and tastings—a first for the industry. Their 'From Cherry to Cup' philosophy emphasized transparency and quality. Today, under new stewardship dedicated to preserving this legacy, the farm continues to share its knowledge and exceptional coffee. What truly sets Bayview Farm apart is its unwavering dedication to the craft, from meticulous handpicking of ripe coffee cherries to careful processing. They offer a genuine taste of Kona, with roasts that highlight the clean, bright, and nuanced flavors of their beans. Beyond coffee, the farm provides insightful daily tours, allowing guests to explore their 20 acres of coffee trees and learn about sustainable practices firsthand. It’s a wonderful opportunity to connect with the source of one of Hawaii’s most prized local products.
