Welcome!

Makahiki Farms grows, harvests, processes and sells award-winning Estate 100% Kona Coffee. Spend a moment to browse our site to learn about our farm and about 100% Kona Coffee and why it is so special.

Our farm is privately owned and operated. We do most of the work personally. It is truly a labor of love. We pride ourselves on attention to detail and on the health of our orchard.

Our coffee is entirely handpicked. It is processed separately from the product of other farms so you can count on the quality. Smooth and flavorful, never bitter.

What's New! (July 19, 2010)

The picking crew just finished a small first round of harvest for 2010. Seven guys picked over about 4 hours.

The wet mill is all set up for the season. Jonathan refinished and painted the cherry hopper. We have power-washed the drying deck. The greenhouse plastic over the deck has been replaced this year. It still needs some stretching since it isn't quite as taut as it should be.

We have been getting much better rainfall over the last few weeks and have not had to irrigate except to fertigate this month.

Last Friday we had a group of over 40 people visit and tour our farm as part of the Hawaii Coffee Association's annual conference. We served some of our new roasting profile "Roast 459". It was a very interesting crowd and a bit different for us as tour-guides since the visitors are in the coffee industry. The questions and comments provided for stimulating conversation. We met some great people and made some new friends. We have to admit that the compliments were gratifying as well.

Coming Soon!

Our new roast profile is almost ready. We have a great procedure for a small batch and are now working on duplicating the roast with bigger batches. The roast is lighter and a bit more acidic, meaning it has brightness and some citrus flavors up front. The finish is very smooth and somewhat chocolaty. Stay tuned.
