Kona Rainforest Coffee Farm

Kona Rainforest Coffee Farm holds USDA Organic certification, and its certificates are publicly available on its website. The farm describes itself as one of the last certified organic commercial coffee farms in Kona, noting that less than 2% of all Kona coffee is grown organically. Rather than conventional growing techniques, it produces its own mulch, uses naturally enriched fertilizers, and applies natural methods for pest and weed control, avoiding synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. All coffee is hand-picked at peak ripeness, then hand-roasted and hand-packed in small batches. The farm's processing mill and roastery are housed in an 8,000-square-foot facility powered entirely by an off-grid renewable energy system, which also runs on-site accommodations.
