What’s Happening at the Coop!
The past coffee season has proven to be one full of surprises for
all our farmers and harvesters with QUALITY being a priority, as
with our crop coming on now, QUALITY ALWAYS NO. 1 !
Pruning, plucking , weed control and fertilizing has been done
to assist the trees in preparation for the best of the best crop
yet to come for the 2010-2011 coffee season. Even without the expected
rain fall to set the flowers during blossoming we are planning for
a season even better than the previous.
The coffee crop year of 2010-2011 officially starts off with our
first bags of coffee cherry to be delivered as early as July 2010.
As you drive through the different coffee regions of Kona, from
mauka to makai you can witness the many coffee trees in different
stages of growth and development. Some will have flower buds, flowers,
and developing green cherry on them at the same time. As the buds
begin flushing, known as the Kona Snow, these flowers fill the air
with a scent of jasmine.
With the onset of the developing green coffee, and the different
ripening stages of the coffee cherry the farmers know that the 2010-2011
coffee crop is here again, and it will soon be time to pick the
fields.
The Kona Pacific Farmers Coop Farmers Retail and Roasting Facility
