100% Kona Coffee Lawsuit: here is the link to the Lawsuit (very slow to download) 


SMITHFARMS welcomes you to try our 100% Kona coffee. Our Coffea arabica, var. typica trees are happy and healthy and many are over 125+ years old! Still vigorous and beautiful. Our trees are the heirloom real Kona Coffee, absolutely.


We know that our SMITHFARMS 100% Kona Coffee
is as good as Kona coffee can be!   

Bob has enhanced our practically perfect natural conditions through individualized attention to each tree. He is able to give our trees this specialized care because of our 5-acre size. Honestly– he really loves all of his trees.
Think it shows up in the cup.

We are sustainable farmers who do not use any insecticides. We are meeting our needs while considering the needs of future generations that will farm this same land.   


   Our cat sisters continue to delight. Ginger on the left and Juneau on the right.
They are having a pre-bedtime nap and were 7 years old this past  Valentine’s Day:)

 

The humans—Bob and I, Cea, live on the farm in our house and are the growers, pickers, and packers, selling our entire crop directly to people who enjoy our unique products. We hand farm our land, using no machinery, continuing the ancient tradition of hand farming by Hawaiians who grew taro, bananas, sweet potatoes and sugarcane in our same fields


         
Blooming again!! our Miltonia orchid- can you tell exactly what pollinator (moth or butterfly) it is trying to attract? 
Not too subtle Mother Nature:)


         didyou it takes about 300 ripe coffee cherries to total a pound of fresh coffee? and it takes about 7 pounds of fresh coffee cherries (2100 coffee cherries!) to get 1 roasted pound of coffee for you? Each coffee cherry is picked one by one, by hand.

Our Smithfarms farm is found high (steep slopes up to the 1900 foot elevation) above historic Kealakekua Bay and overlooking the ancient Place Of Refuge in the district of South Kona on Hawaii island, the largest, and most southern of the 8 main Hawaiian islands. Captain Cook first landed in 1779 at Kealakekua Bay which we overlook.

Unusual view of the ocean as I was driving down. Sheets of rain coming on to land from the Pacific ocean. 

           

SMITHFARMS is a 5 acre Kona coffee farm whose farmers are dedicated to the conscientious care of the earth and its bounty.

We have natural shade grown 100% Kona coffee and we use no chemical insecticides.

Our SMITHFARMS land has been hand farmed without any machinery ever. We have pre-contact stone walls, hand built by Hawaiians. No bulldozer has ever crushed our earth. The roots of our coffee plants can go anywhere they want in our light volcanic soil. Makes them happy coffee trees!

The picking equipment: a basket, pair of gloves, (lots of…) time in the fresh air …..

and the great result… Smithfarms coffee fruit in a basket!


What makes our Kona Coffee farm so special?

It is really just us, with Bob doing the hard farm work daily and both of us working along side our pickers every picking day. I manage this web site and do other smithfarms-office type stuff. We have a kind helper Tim Martens, who weed whacks our entire farm. We are the packers and the pruners and roasters of our Smithfarms 100% Kona Coffee. Two mortals trying to do the right thing.

We can supply you with the finest 100% Kona coffee there is and we are confident about that.

Smithfarms is farmed by sustainable farmers (definition: meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs by doing the same thing on our land).

Bob is conscientious about the care of the land and would never jeopardize it.

We are a fairly traded coffee (definition: non-exploitive toward the farm, farmer or the workers).

We live in America, too.

Smithfarms Pure Kona Coffee

Mild mild in acid and just awesome awesome in flavor. 

A “clean and bright 100% Kona coffee flavor which is straight forward, and a full & smooth with a sweet body and such a lingering finish.”
said a renowned coffee reviewer after tasting our coffee.

   Smithfarms Coffee Cherry fresh picked


   Isn’t that picking beautiful? The end of a picking day.


HOW DO WE DO IT?

We selectively hand pick each coffee bean so that only the ripest, reddest fruit is chosen.

We then carefully wet-process our coffee in lots of fresh volcanic aquifer water and then every Smithfarms Kona coffee bean is put out in our warm Hawaiian sun to bask/sun bathe with de-light while our tropical breezes gently dry them to perfection.

No chemicals are involved.
which results in….
100% Kona Coffee PURE which is Freshly Roasted, extraordinarily AromaticSweet & Delicate & Naturally Gourmet!

What is Happening now?  Roasting and packing your coffee. Harvest season and pruning is finished. Chipped the prunings this week. Bags of fertilizer are waiting to be applied very soon. Lots of normal “hacking back the jungle” yard work too:)Then comes “selecting” to choose the brand new growth for our future crop.
                      People want only good coffee and we are working hard to provide it.

FYI-Smithfarms is “open” from Sundays through Thursdays and we often take off from putting orders together on Fridays and Saturdays. Our rural Honaunau Post Office is closed from noon on Fridays until 8 am on Mondays. Just in case you were wondering:)

                                                           Love it when the off and on volcano is OFF!  Views can not be beat!
