The verdict/Hidden gem·Chill·Locals + tourists

A family-run Ka’u coffee farm in Naalehu where Brenda and her family provide an intimate, owner-led experience. It's genuinely good for those seeking a nuanced, light-roast profile that's rare on the Big Island, or for those who want to-go drinks like the Coffee Cloud or smoothies from their market stall. If you're looking for a polished, commercial tasting room or a high-traffic tourist hub, this is a more personal, working-farm visit—be sure to call ahead to see if they're at the farm or the market.

The story

At Pohaku Farm, we have a unique aim to bring you farm to cup coffee. As a small farm, that is no easy hand-picked, washed and sorted then carefully dried and sorted by hand again and again to ensure the highest quality. Producing high quality farm-to-cup specialty coffee is a labor of love. It involves the strictest of standards and relentless discipline, rising with the sun and getting the work done. We left everything familiar, the people and home we loved, to move our little family of five to one of the most back-country towns on the most remote island in world—right in the middle of the 2020 pandemic. We purchased the farm with 683 young coffee trees and dozens of tropical fruit trees. We value our community—our extended family—SO much that its quite frankly, beyond words. Without people who consistently show up and do their part to help the farm keep running on course, we wouldn’t be here.
