We are proud to be a member of the Estate coffee program of the
Kona Coffee Council.
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.

Farm Update
The pruning and mulching for this year are completed. We hired a guy with a huge John Deere tractor and six-foot-wide flail mower to come in and mow over all the cuttings from pruning. Right after that we had an intense wind storm that made me worry a little bit about the remaining verticals. The trees are quite strong and we didn't get beat up too badly. We are in the midst of doing some work on pest management. Some of it was done this week and I will be out in the orchard filling beetle traps and ant traps hopefully this coming week.
Flowering has begun and we have already had two significant blooms. A little bit of rain earlier this week will likely trigger another. I was walking the dog this morning and see that there are a lot of buds forming so I'm guessing it will flower again in a few days.
Peaberry Yields Are Low This Year
We have been getting a few inquiries about the availability of Peaberry this year. As anyone who farms can tell you, the growing conditions are never the same from year to year. This year our percentage of Peaberry is quite small. The quantities are so limited that we will be only able to fulfill the needs of our existing Coffee Club members. So sorry to say, we won't be taking on any additional orders for Peaberry.
Donations to Cancer Research for 2012
This year (2012) we will try something a little different with our donation of $1 per half pound of roasted coffee sold. We will make our donations quarterly. Q1 2012 will go to MD Anderson; Q2 will go to Stand Up To Cancer and Q3 will go to the American Cancer Society. In Q4 (our biggest since it includes the holidays), we will split the donation among those three.
