A high-elevation, intimate farm experience in Holualoa where the focus is on the 'cupping' tasting session and the animals. It's genuinely good for those who want a small-group, owner-led tour that feels like a guest in someone's home, complete with goats and sheep. If you're looking for a polished, commercial tasting room or a quick drop-in visit, this isn't it—this is a working farm on a windy road, and you'll need an appointment.
Requires an appointment and a drive up a 'windy road' to a high-elevation farm.
Owner-led tours featuring coffee trees, animal interactions, and 'guest in someone's home' vibe.
Offers professional 'cupping' sessions and is praised by a coffee industry veteran for 'objectively good coffee'.
Visitors buy bags of coffee and some roast their own to take home as souvenirs.

Are farm tours or coffee tastings available at Sunshower Farms?
Farm tours and tastings have been paused due to high demand and limited coffee availability for the season. Check their website for current status before planning a visit.
What kind of coffee does Sunshower Farms produce?

Who roasts the coffee at Sunshower Farms?
Owner Kate Hickey personally roasts each small batch to order on the estate, emphasizing hands-on quality control and third-wave principles.
What is the setting like at Sunshower Farms?

Does Sunshower Farms sell beans to take home?
