Kona Coffee Living History Farm
The Kona Coffee Living History Farm is a 5.5 acre historic coffee farm first homesteaded in 1900 and is the only living history coffee farm in the nation. It brings the coffee pioneer’s story to life by depicting the daily lives of early Japanese immigrants during the period of 1920-1945. Visitors may walk through the coffee and macadamia nut orchards, tour the historic farmhouse, talk story with the interpreters and visit with the donkey and chickens. A “living history” program tells their story through the use of historic buildings, artifacts, and authentic landscapes. Living history gives students and visitors an opportunity to experience history “brought to life” by costumed interpreters who demonstrate traditional crafts, agricultural activities, and the everyday tasks of people from the past.
The Farm is open for tours and 100% Kona coffee sales Monday - Thursday, 10:00am - 2:00pm. Be sure to be there by 1:15pm as gates close at 2:00pm and we want you to be able to get a full tour.
We are offering a special of $15 (25% off!) for adults, $5.00 for children 5 through 12, Children under 5 are free. Please call for special group arrangements: 808-323-2006 or email us at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
The Uchida project is not a Kona project or a Hawai’i project. It is a national project which tells in eloquent and dramatic language that this is an American Story which represents success, family values, and independence.

You have developed a program that is creative, informative, and most crucial…it is interactive and encourages learning in its most stimulating form.

Last week my wife and I had the most memorable experience of our Hawaiian trip visiting the Living History Farm. We were educated in the development of coffee beans, and were taken back in time to understand the people and process involved in bringing coffee to market. We wanted to give our deep appreciation to the [farm workers] for their time in educating us and giving us an historical perspective of the family that spent so many years dedicated to raising coffee and living in such a frugal and thoughtful way. Our visit was one that we consider time well spent and will remain one of the top highlights of our trip. Thank you.
