Smithfarms: Established in 1988 and on the Internet Since January 1999!
Aloha.....from South Kona on Hawaii island ...2,800 miles off the coast of America and 1,839 feet up the slopes of Mauna Loa.
Sparkles was 2 on June 22, 2008. Gads! Cute, isn't he? He does challenge big wild pigs , 26 pounds of bravery. He has actually kept the pigs away. Howling and barking like a nut, but he doesn't stop and the pigs don't enjoy his noises!

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 120 years old and still so vigorous!
Bob
has enhanced our
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.

Bob
and I, Cea, live on the
farm 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,
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.

(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 120 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, some (lots of<g>) 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 Bob and me - we work along side our pickers every picking day, and 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.

GOURMET & NATURAL
Never had our coffee Before?
aaah "poor ting" as we say in Hawaii...
WE CAN HELP!
We were told that drinking our coffee is like "having dessert at breakfast!"
Imagine tasting this goodness yourself: (yum... slurp... swirl) SMITHFARMS 100% Kona coffee beans -- Natural & Gourmet with "an AROMA which is full, sweet and fruity - causing your olfactory senses to jump with delight".
"What a wonderful lingering taste each sip will give you."
A cup of naturally sweet Kona coffee that will never be forgotten, --VERY Creamy, --smooth, with that Just-before-chocolate taste!
Mild mild in acid and just 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."
See the Jackson pair below on the coffee tree? He is on the left and she is on the right. They stayed in the position for about 4 hours, moving a little.
We are careful farmers, and we have lots of Jackson Chameleons. Each one seems like a gift.
We love these guys.

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.
What's
Happening Now?
Late Septemebr 2008-Bob has been maintaing our happy farm while I have gone on several trips with family as well as having all of ourgrandchildren here at various times during the past summer. Now it is done for this year. We've had so many wonderful times and been so busy. I also have been working really hard for the last 3 months!,on a new web site for the Kona Coffee Farmers Association- a totally non-profit group of farmers. It is too much fun:) to do and ought to be done by October 1st, so please bear with me.
Of course you all make our world and we thank you!
Girls getting sun:)
Alani is almost 13 and loves to have the warmth of the sun, especially during our winter months
Pennsy loves the warmth of the sun too, finding a comfy spot on an ancient tree fern stump- good for scratching and keeping her nails beautiful.
STUFF: Bob and I have decided to limit our offerings from our farm and site to JUST our 100% Kona Coffee and our Hawaii Island Macadamias. Nothing else.

Smithfarms is "open" from Sundays through Thursdays and we take off from putting orders together- on Fridays and Saturdays--
Just in case you were wondering:)
