About Kona Coffee Living History Farm

Run by the Kona Historical Society, this historic farm recreates life for Kona's coffee pioneers in the early 1900s. Visitors walk through the coffee trees at their own pace, see how farmers milled and dried beans using the kuriba and hoshidana, and tour an original 1920s farmhouse. Costumed interpreters demonstrate traditional crafts, farm work, and daily household tasks, and they will chat with guests along the way. The farm sits on the Daisaku Uchida Coffee Farm, a 5.5-acre property established in 1900.
