If there’s one beverage Hawaii is known for, it’s coffee. After all, Hawaii is the only American state with land able to grow coffee. And while we love all of the incredible coffee farms you’ll find across the Hawaiian Islands — there is one variety that has become world-famous. Grown in a small section of fertile volcanic soil on Hawaii Island’s Kona coast, Kona coffee is definitely a cut above any coffee you can find, well, pretty much anywhere. To experience the best coffee this famous region has to offer and to learn about the history of coffee in this region and the impact it’s had on Hawaii, head on over to the Kona Coffee Living History Farm.

Located on the Daisaku Uchida Coffee Farm along Hawaii Island’s famous Kona Coast, this unique Hawaii attraction is an award-winning, historic farm that shares the story of Kona’s coffee pioneers during the early 20th century.
