100% Pure Kona Coffee

Estate Grade and Peaberry!

We know that our SMITHFARMS 100% Kona Coffee is as good as Kona coffee can get!  All of our Coffea arabica trees are very happy & very healthy.  Many of our Kona Coffee trees are over 125 years old and still so vigorous!  

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.

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.   

honohono

These honohono orchids are wild, live on the tree fern trunks and bloom every spring-lucky us!

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 sugar cane in our same fields.

 Ripe, Red, Cherry coffee at Smithfarms in the bag

Our Smithfarms is found high 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.   

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

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

Beautiful Pennsyl "posing" at the base of a tree fern with a tillandsia vicentina and a vresia x mariae (Doesn't she look like she is posing for her high school photo?)

Our Coffea arabica, var. typica trees are happy and healthy and most are over 125 years old!  Still vigorous! Our trees are the heirloom real Kona Coffee, absolutely.

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! 

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

and the great result...

      What makes our Kona Coffee farm so special?

It is really just us, with Bob doing the hard farm work daily and - we both work along side our pickers every picking day. We are the sole 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 Coffee Cherry 

 fresh picked

 

Isn't that 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 Aromatic, Sweet & Delicate & Naturally Gourmet!

We offer GREEN & ROASTED 100% SMITHFARMS Kona coffee. 


April...What's Happening Now?
Rains came- as we knew they would. Pruning is done and now to spraying to ward off that nasty beetle and then fertilizing. Pretty soon it will be full-on weed whackery.

Smithfarms is "open" from Sundays through Thursdays and we often take off from putting orders together- on Fridays and Saturdays-- to do other work

Just in case you were wondering:)

Bob & I are each from families in Hawaii whose parents & grandparents worked in sugar cane in years gone by and we will attempt to answer questions you might have.
