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! (September 2, 2010)

We picked and processed a little over one thousand pounds of cherry last week. This was the second picking round of the season. We have a very large round coming up that is ripening now. This would correspond with the very large flowering we had in February. The mill worked great. Jonathan spent some time reworking the cherry hoppers for the pulpers. They are a bit taller and now completely made out of acrylic so that we can see the cherry levels from all sides. Looks and works great.

This year we have been making some investments in equipment in order to make farming and coffee processing easier on us. We purchased a fertilizer spreader that also doubles as a way to spread the cherry skins back on the orchard as mulch. The advantage of it is that it can be pulled by our Honda Rancher ATV so we don't have to remove the mower from the back of the tractor. It will save money and lots of time as well as back-breaking effort.

New Product Offerings!

Sunshine Roast Our new roast profile is ready and the feedback has been stellar. We call it "Sunshine Roast". The roast is lighter and with a bit more brightness and some citrus flavors up front. The finish is very smooth and somewhat chocolaty. Roasting terms are not very precise but I would call it an "American" roast. Our usual medium is like a "City" and medium-dark a "Full City", and dark a "Full City Plus" (a bit lighter than a French). If you're reading this far and want to try it, send an email or just ask in the comments when you place an order and we'll send you a free 4 ounce pack to try.

4-ounce packages We now have 4-ounce pouches for either whole bean or ground. These are great for keeping your coffee fresh. They have the same one-way degassing valve that our 8-ounce packages do and also have a re-sealable zip closure. They won't puff up and won't let in any air to cause the coffee to go stale. They make terrific gifts.
