Description

If visitors want to learn about how coffee beans are grown and see the lives of rural Japanese immigrants, visit the seven-acre coffee bean farm run by the Kona Historical Society here. The Uchida family lived here until 1994, but the farm has returned to the way it was in the 1920s and 1940s. Several of the docents grew up on the same farm, so they spoke from personal experience as they showed the group around the coffee garden, operated the mill and dried the roof. Here visitors will learn how to pick coffee beans, how to preheat the bath and more.
