The
Kona Pacific Farmers Cooperative
Kona Pacific Farmers Cooperative is the oldest and largest Kona
Coffee Cooperative in the United States of America with over 50
years as a business. We are a farmer owned business that grows and
processes both Kona Coffee and Hawaii Grown Macadamias. We have
been a farmers' cooperative for 53 years and have been continuously
processing coffee at this beautiful historical site in Kealakekua
since 1910. Originally a pineapple factory, today the operation
is all about coffee and macadamia nuts. With a membership of 100
locally generation to generation farmers, together they have a combined
experience of 200 years of growing Kona Coffee along the lush and
scenic mountains of Hualalai and Mauna Loa.
KPFC still employs many processing techniques from the infancy
of coffee processing on the Big Island. Still, 100% hand picked
and still primarily air dried, Kona Coffee is considered by many
to be one of the "Islands Famous Treasures" and the "Finest
Coffee in the World."
KPFC is not only skilled in everything there is to know about
coffee and macadamia nuts, we maintain a standard of growing and
processing that is unequaled anywhere. The farmers of Kona Pacific
Farmers Cooperative take pride in the quality of their coffee and
that's why till today and always our motto is, "Stubborn
About Quality".
To ensure the best quality KPFC has become one of the charter members
of the Hawaii Department Agriculture "Seal of Quality"
program. KPFC tries to be a leader within the coffee industry to
help educate the community and visitors from around the world about
the importance of "Quality Products" that is locally grown
and produced here within the Hawaiian Islands.
