Kona Living History Coffee Farm

A worthwhile stop in South Kona is the Living History Coffee Farm. This farm has been restored to recreate the life of a coffee farmer from the era of 1920 to around 1945. The old mill, drying shed, home and gardens are available for you to explore and it’s quite fascinating.

The original drying sheds had a rolling roof that could be rolled away to expose the drying coffee to the sun, and then rolled back to cover it when it rained.

Of course there is coffee to taste in addition to the tour. This farm doesn’t really produce enough coffee these days so they do buy cherry from other farms to make a nice, rounded coffee.
