Rooster Farms
Rooster Farms is dear to our heart and is the foundation for our love of Kona coffee. Started by Mike Craig in the 70’s, the Rooster has been active with growing, branding and marketing methods for Kona farmers. This farm is located in the Honaunau Mauka appellation and the medium roast has the characteristic bold fruit forward flavor.
Mike sold Rooster Farms in 2015. The new owners are keeping the farm alive, though they have dispensed with the colorful label. We have not had an opportunity to meet the new owners and will update this page when that opportunity presents itself. They won the Kona Cupping Contest in 2016. While they are offering their extra fancy grade for $90 per pound, they also offer an unsorted “Hawaiian” grade for $20 per pound. This is a good product with all the qualities of Honaunau Mauka coffee at an accessible price.
Rooster Farms does offer tours by appointment. It is an arduous drive up a one-lane road to get there but well worth the effort.
