A small, sustainable family farm in Honokaa where the focus is on the quality of the beans rather than the cafe experience. It's the perfect spot for those who who want to support a family-run operation practicing sustainable farming and take home a bag of high-quality, medium roast beans. If you're looking for a drop-in coffee shop with a menu of lattes and pastries, this isn't it—this is a working farm, not a cafe.

Our story begins high on the verdant slopes of Mauna Kea in the district of Hamakua on the windward side of the Big Island of Hawaii where members of our family have lived since 1973. In 1998 we decided to start a coffee farm. Being on Mauna Kea (a dormant volcano) is an advantage because the cool air coming down the nearly 14,000-foot mountain at night helps to yield a premium coffee. Together with the rich volcanic soil and cool, misty conditions, the result is a very smooth, soft, and elegant taste. Our family farm is one of the largest certified organic coffee farms in Hawaii. Our fields are planted with an overstory of native Hawaiian Koa trees which provide shade, wind protection, and nitrogen for the soil. We have our own certified organic coffee mill and do everything ourselves from start to finish right here on the farm, paying close attention to every detail of the process along the way.
Certified organic family farm operating since 1998 on the Mauna Kea slopes.
