Peaberry isin! Limited amounts so don't delay- thanks!Email if you want to be put on the alert list. Last bunch was bought with in 24 hours and we ran out!
one of our endangered green sea turtles - about 3 feet wide and so reptilian-we do not have land turtles here in Hawaii
UPDATE on the GMO Ban! Our Hawaii County Council, with lots of effort by the Kona Coffee Farmers Association (they rock!) over rode the Mayor's veto and GMO coffee planting is not allowed! Yipee! It's not that we think all GMO is bad, we just think our coffee is perfect as it is and the planting of GMO coffee would have ruined our reputation as Pure Kona. LOGIC rules!
another favorite photo. I use it as my desk top !

100% Pure Kona Coffee
Estate Grade
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
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 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,
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 time ) 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 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.

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." said a renowned coffee reviewer
We love our natural wild life, can you tell?
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?
June- Bob has fertilised all of our coffee trees! Keeping them happy. He is slowly selecting the growth-from a bunch of volunteers, to ensure continued happy coffee trees. Rain has returned after a short lay-off. And we're having family here until July 30tieth. Too much fun!

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.
Recently we had the opportunity to visit a local cocoa farm, from where all chocolate is made. These are the raw pods, ready to be processed. Lovely colors.
Smithfarms is "open" from Sundays through Thursdays and we often take off from putting orders together- on Fridays and Saturdays--
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 any questions you might have.
