Our coffee, made from 100% hand picked Kona beans, is farmer owned, grown, and processed. Our farmers, with over 200 years combined experience, take pride in the quality of our coffee. In fact our farmers are absolutely “Stubborn About Quality.” Kona Coffee is the world’s finest coffee and Kona Pacific Farmers Cooperative produces the finest in Kona Coffee.

What’s Happening at the Coop!
Like our mascot, I'or would say, "It's been a HEE-HAW of a year!" The crop year of 2007-2008 has come to an end and we are geared up for the new crop year of 2008-2009. As of early Jan. '08 the coffee trees have gone through several cycles of its flowering, filling the trees with its white jasmine flowers, better known as our "Kona Snow". From that sweet fragrance flower the trees are bearing its fruit and some are becoming red and ripe. Farmers are preparing for the new harvest and it will start to begin in a few months, in July or early August. We're all geared up and excited of what the new year will bring us.

Here, at the Coop, we have been busy cleaning and maintaining our machines and facilities preparing for the season. We're excited and kicking our heels for a prosperous and successful 2008-2009 crop year. If you're here in the Kona area on the Big Island, come visit us and we will show you, "What's Happening at the Coop"!
