Established in 1850 by Henry Nicholas Greenwell, it is one of the oldest coffee farms in Hawaii and has a rich history tied to the development of Kona coffee, which is internationally recognized for its high quality. The farm is located in the Kona district on the slopes of the Mauna Loa volcano. The region's unique climate, with its rich volcanic soil, sunny mornings, cloud-covered afternoons, and consistent rainfall, creates ideal conditions for growing high-quality coffee.

I always want to go see this part and I finally did. But our guide was from military background and he still taking care like we are in military. I feel so bad for family from Europe. The father was carsick and they don’t speak English very well and the way our guide care about them was like I said MILITARY.
