Makapueo Farms is a Hawaiian family- and veteran-owned coffee farm rooted in the historic lands of Captain Cook, South Kona. Located on the slopes of Mauna Loa where rich volcanic soil, coastal breezes, and cool upland cloud cover create the perfect growing conditions, we are proud producers of authentic 100% Kona coffee. We manage and processed coffee from over 200 acres throughout the region, harvesting well over a million pounds of raw cherry each year and exporting certified green Kona beans to coffee lovers around the world. But despite our scale, we’ve stayed true to what matters most: caring for the â’áina, honoring tradition, and doing things the right way†–from seed to cup.
