Founded in 1986, Lehuula Farms is located at roughly 1,400 feet elevation on 3.8 acres in the Kona coffee belt with a stunning view of the ocean. Our 4,000 coffee trees grow under the shade of many different fruit trees including avocado and macadamia nut, where wild turkeys commingle with chameleons. Many of our coffee trees are over 90 years old, and like heritage grape vines, this age allows the plant to produce deeply complex and unique flavors. Lehuula Farms is now the dream project of Yulian and Ana Moreno. After working with the original founders Bob and Mae Nelson and the next generation Brian and Amy Axelrod for over 12 years Yulian and Ana have decided to take the step forward and become the new owners of Lehuula Farms.
Family-stewarded Kona estate on the slopes of Hualalai, operating since 1986.

Are tours available at Lehuula Farms?

Is Lehuula Farms open on weekends?
No — the farm is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM and is closed both Saturday and Sunday. Plan your visit for a weekday.
Can I buy beans at the farm and have them shipped to the mainland?
Yes, Lehuula Farms ships beans directly. Because they roast only after an order is received, you can expect fresh beans whenever you order.
What kind of coffee does Lehuula Farms grow?
Lehuula Farms grows 100% Kona coffee on 3.8 acres on the slopes of Hualalai volcano. The farm is notable for heritage coffee plants that are over 90 years old.
Is Lehuula Farms a cafe or a working farm?
It is a working farm, not a drop-in cafe. Visitors seeking a full coffee shop experience with a menu and seating should look elsewhere — this is best suited to those interested in a farm tour and purchasing freshly roasted beans.
What is distinctive about how Lehuula Farms roasts their coffee?
Roast master Yulian Moreno roasts every batch by hand in small quantities, and only after receiving an order. This means beans are at peak freshness rather than sitting pre-roasted on a shelf.
