They have paid tours which I feel are not worth it and instead can go to Greenville farms. Tours are based on home ppl lived back in the days and how they roasted coffee (which does not work). There is a medicinal herbs/tea session which we did not attend. In all think it is more of a money making attempt with the name Kona coffee
A must visit place!! Yoga on the farm on Friday is relaxing and green. You can even see the ocean from this spot. I love learning about the coffee process and how the donkeys "Nightingales" helped. The Japanese farmhouse is also onsite. There are coffee samples and a little store to purchase coffee, gifts and other items.
Easy to walk thru in less than an hour, super cool to see how the simpler times were lived, and a great scenic drive on the way. Loved it!!
Hard to choose where to stop and learn about the history of coffee, this one really tells how one family made it their life journey
Very cool place to visit. Wonderful staff and interesting history of kona coffee and tha family that farmed this parcel of land for several generations.
The living history farm is an incredibly interesting place to visit, and see how coffee was farmed and how they lived. It is a little limited on what there is to do, but what they have is so interesting.
Nice treat, delightful tour.
Not a big farm but interesting.
Loved it. It was like stepping back into history. The docents/farm workers were great and very informative.
Good experience. But not much there.
Wonderful and interesting tour!
My best experience in ~9 days in Hawaii. Staff are incredibly kind, generous, and knowledgeable and the grounds are beautiful and peaceful.
Very interesting history of coffee farming in Kona. Working farm with knowledgeable staff from the historical society make this a great stop for any coffee lover.
Worth the $15 entry fee. We saw how an old coffee plantatiin was run and the house they lived in during that time. Its very interesting to find out info on how the japanese reacted to WW2 as well. The lady that guided us was friends with the original family. Very cool. One of my favorite historical stops of the trip.
Absolutely LOVED this! I learned so much and was made to feel right at home. They have different people and events throughout the week. On our visit, there was a medicinal man (Jim) there. I was amazed with all that he shared with us and taught me. He took his time with each guest and you can tell he has a passion for what he does. There was also a wonderful lady in the main house that explained how things were done back when this land was working land. It was hands on and you could walk through at your own pace. I would highly recommend this for your next trip to the Big Island.
Fun place to learn a bit about Japanese settlers and a lot about medical application of local plants. Entry was not cheap but I still recommend it. Plan for about 2 hour stay.
This was a Wow experience. If you visit our island be sure to go see the old farm homestead
Great detailed history

(Translated by Google) Parking lot was full, but not even so Once inside, enjoyed comfortable. Thanks to the old man who is described in fluent Japanese, was interesting well understood the lifestyle of the time of the coffee farmers. (Original) 駐車場は満杯だったが、中に入るとそうでもなく、ゆったり楽しめた。流暢な日本語で説明してくれるおじいさんのおかげで、当時のコーヒー農家の暮らしぶりがよく分かって面白かった。
Very interesting and quite educational on a old working coffee plantation that also had oranges , papaya , limes and more .
Good history, but that's it. It's not optimized for tourism and needs some new blood. They serve coffee from a thermos that was so so. This trip made me realize Kona coffee is the best, but don't stop here for it.
Very educational, warm village people. Try their oranges!
Nice place but WAY over priced in my opinion!!!
The staff was friendly and very knowledgeable about coffee production. The museum and farm itself are set up as if it were the 1920's and so it was not too big but was a nice spot to stop by and learn about coffee and see a fruit and vegetable garden.
Personable hosts share their depth of knowledge, giving you a living story worth the visit. Enjoy a self guided, walking tour with samples of coffee and fresh macadamia nuts.
Very homely tour of life on a coffee farm in the early 20th century. The staff was amazingly kind and loved answering questions.

Love Coffee
Great staff, lots of fun stories of the old times.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Decided to stop by on a whim. Glad we did. The staff is very informative and friendly, and the property is like taking a trip into the past. We made daikon radish and carrot pickles in the preserved Japanese house. All in all highly recommended. Don't pass it up just because it's small and unimposing.
We were in search of a typical coffee farm factory tour and we found so much more! Through interpretative talks brought by people well either lived the experience or were very passionate about communicating the story, we found ourselves living back in the early 20th century as Japanese immigrants, former "indentured servants" trying to survive producing a new crop in a new place that they called home. With true innovation using the experiences they brought from Japan they succeeded in developing a coffee with few peers. As a mainland Japanese American visiting with my parents who were contemporaries of the children of the families it helped me to appreciate the experiences my parents and grandparents faced as we found that so much of the Japanese culture that came to Hawaii was found similarly on the mainland though with a different backdrop, a different context. It was neat to to see how coffee is produced asset a base level and the amount of care and labor it takes to produce a good crop. All the people there genuinely and deeply cared about what they were sharing and that made all the difference I the world in drawing us, even my teenage kids, into the story. This place gets an a++++. It also helps that there is free kona coffee in the process.
The workers put a lot of effort into sharing all about how the family farms existed an operated. Very informative and educational. The entrance fees go to a good cause. Nothing conveys history like living history.
Truly wonderful capsule of Kona history. Relaxed. Very enjoyable!
We visited with our two teenagers, and even with them having no interest in coffee, we could tell they were having a good time (although they might not admit it). The guides/storytellers made all the difference. Learned quite a bit.
Fazenda de café hawaiano...
An operating family farm growing the famous Kona Coffee. There is a nice presentation showing the harvesting and roasting methods of the original Japanese farmers.
Amazing!!! A must see!
It was highly informative. They brought to life how coffee was grown, processed, and sent out before modern times. You could see how people lived in the early to mid-twentieth century.
Great tour guides.
Incredible experience! Learned about coffee, macadamia nuts, other plants, and the people who lived on the farm. Interpreters are extremely knowledgeable!
Well worth the money if you enjoy an authentic historical experience! The house itself is like trip to Japan and the guide was exceptional.
We heard some slack key guitar at the Kona Coffee Living History Farm. It's a nice site and would be interesting for children to visit and learn how coffee is grown, harvested, and roasted.
Intimate venue with knowledgeable host.
(Translated by Google) The coffee was delicious! (Original) コーヒーは美味しかった!
Awesome historic coffee farm. Really enjoyed the grounds and knowledge gained from it's historic production facilities.
I absolutely loved touring the farm. There is a $15 fee but it is completely worth it. Listening to the stories of the farmer and learning from the lady of the house is the best part of the tour. The lady of the house taught us how to make a traditional Japanese meal and write in Japanese calligraphy. This tour is an amazing cultural experience and a great way to learn about the farm and how coffee is made.
Really good place to visit. Kind of pricey at $15/ person.
Awesome tasting of coffee
Interesting experience, There was a coffee Plantation a history Of the coffee industry in Hawaii macadamia nut trees and free coffee samples.
This place does an amazing job explaining the coffee history. A must visit!!
A small glimpse of a 100 year old family owned coffee farm. What a humbling but gratifying life commitment.
This place was not necessarily what I expected but I was not disappointed at all. there are the obligatory coffee samples and small items that you can purchase on your way in, but there are so many more things inside then coffee trees! we were able to visit with three of the different historical interpreters and got to hear things about Japanese immigrant life from the 1920s, how to grow your own pineapples and loofahs, and experience harvesting macadamia nuts and oranges. There are many different kinds of plants for the botanist in you and the interpreters on site will talk to you about many different topics. Beautiful place to practice photographs, learn something new, and have a great cup of coffee!
Unique coffee and I don't even drink coffee P.S Send more!!!
Very interesting. Recommended.
a must-see...…...learn about coffee plantation history and functionality.
Wonderful tour. Local, very informed people. Beautiful place.
Loved my visit here. Everybody was so very helpful and informative. Spent 20 minutes talking with Pixie. Only one problem, now I am hooked on the coffee I bought there. It's the best. Medium Roast is to die for...rick
This was just damn interesting and fun. I love the farm and the history of the family that lived there and how they made coffee. But the high light as unquestionably the mochi making session. It was so much fun!! I wish I could give more than 5 stars. They volunteers absolutely deserve the praise.
Good
Enjoyed seeing an original actual coffee farm, staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommend for any coffee lover.
Don't miss the tour.
Wonderful your. Very informative. Staff was friendly and very knowledgeable. There is a fee entrance-well worth it. If you want to see what living was really like come for a visit!
Neat little bit of living history. Very friendly and informative.
This is more of an encounter, than a "museum"... And I mean that in a good way. It's easy to find and to park (which is free). You can clearly see the people working here love this farm and are dedicated to teaching visitors about the history of this coffee farm and the amazing immigrants from Japan who established it. It was interesting to me to learn about the difference in the method of harvesting and processing coffee beans that is used in Hawaii as opposed to in South America. This is a great place for visitors of all ages... Young children will find it engaging. It's also a beautiful location and they offer free samples of their Kona coffee, which is delicious, and expensive, but you might not be able to resist the temptation of indulging in a purchase.
This place was awesome! The demonstrations and the people you get to talk to made the whole trip❤
A beautiful jump back into history, when a Japanese family put huge efforts into coffee farming and daily life. Great people explain every detail, incl. the daily life as show case in the house und kind support in the little shop.
Wonderful explanations by the interpreters. The displays are well preserved. I really enjoyed the picture of daily life painted by the docents.
We had a wonderful time listening to history of the coffee plantation.
Well worth the fee. It is run by the Kona Historical Society with really good docents. Learned a lot about coffee and the history.
Amazing farm with great history and the hands on activities and guides are a must
The attendant was very pleasant but the price of admission was too much. We didn't feel it was worth the money.
The tour guides are excellent! Well spoken, very engaging style with actual demonstrations. If you catch them on New Year's you can also try traditional mochi making yourself!
这个咖啡农场博物馆下午2点关门 ,给三星的原因是收费15元每人。 比较还有其他性价比更高的咖啡农场。
돈 아까움.. 커피콩 가격 바가지 심합니다
Done in 15 mins and cost is $15 per person. Not worth the time and money. Only the big house has information about it, all other sites on the farm had no information and you can walk passed and not even noticed them. Price of coffee is too high.
(Translated by Google) A Japanese woman explained to me while demonstrating what kind of life Japanese immigrants lived at the time. We cook rice every day, make lunch box of rice ball and open the kitchen. Seeing the process from cultivation to green beans in a coffee plantation, I was convinced that the quality and productivity of Kona coffee were enhanced by devising it. The roasted coffee is a little high, but the grains are large and the medium roast is moderately acid, mellow and delicious. You can also sample. I also had a fresh flower experience. (Original) 日本人女性が日系移民の方々が当時どのような生活をしていたかを実演しながら説明してくださいました。毎日ご飯を炊き、おにぎりのお弁当を作って台所を公開しています。 コーヒー農園での栽培から生豆にするまでの工程を見て、工夫しコナコーヒーの品質と生産力を高めて行ったのだと納得。焙煎したコーヒーは少し高めですが粒も大きくミディアムローストは程よい酸味、まろやかで美味しかつたです。試飲もできます。生花体験もやっていました。
An excellent way to learn about coffee farming, as well as the history of coffee farming on Hawai’i. It was so fascinating to hear from an actual coffee farmer and to be able to ask questions of highly knowledgeable members of the community. Worth checking out if you are visiting the Kona area.
The whole experience was fascinating, but my favorite part was the talk given in the farmhouse. You really get a sense of what daily life was like for the Uchida family.
(Translated by Google) The guide tells us the hardships, fun, hardships of making Japanese coffee of the past. If you have time, it is a recommended place! (Original) ガイドの方が、一生懸命、楽しく、昔の日系人のコーヒー作りの苦労を語ってくれます。 時間があるようでしたら、ぜひおすすめの場所です!
Very interesting place
(Translated by Google) I thought we would have a real explanation of coffee, how it is treated for example .... we had the right to Japanese games .... and an explanation on Japanese customs in the kitchen (on vegetables and how the Japanese lived at the time), but nothing to do with coffee. Everything is played and staged, but without explanation of the coffee .... Very disappointed unfortunately. I followed the smart but we have much regretted. Count $ 15 per person entry. $ 9 the small package of coffee sold at the end of the tour, and between $ 35 and $ 100 the largest .... I personally advise against the kindness of people who work there. (Original) Je pensais que on allait avoir une vraie explication du café, comment il est traité per exemple.... on a eu le droit à des jeux japonais....et une explication sur les coutumes japonaise en cuisine (sur les legume et comment vivais les japonais à l'époque), mais rien à voir avec le café. Tout est jouer et mis en scène, mais sans explication du café.... Très déçu malheureusement. J'ai suivie le petit futé mais on à beaucoup regretté. Comptez 15$ par personne l'entrée. 9$le tout petit paquet de café vendu à la fin du tour, et entre 35 et 100$ les plus grand.... Je déconseille personnellement malgré la gentillesse des gens qui y travaillent la bas.
Good place to rest drink real Kona coffee and gift place,
Interesting history and information about Kona coffee beans!
Very informative. So happy we stumbled upon it.
Wonderfully maintained, great concrete and visual explanations. A lot of tastings (coffee, macadamia nuts, oranges...). Amazing staff / volunteers on site.
What a great place and way to learn about the history of the coffee insustry on the Big Island! We soaked up the stories from Miki, a 2nd generation farmer, and other knowledgable staff that demostrated how the beans were traditionally harvested, dried & roasted. A visit here is a must for Big Island visitors and the perfect activity to kick off the Kona Coffee Festival (every November)!
Awesome place to learn about coffee production and get a feel for how life was like as a japanese farmer. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming and made for an amazing experience.
The history interpreters are very knowledgeable. They take their time and explain everything to you. It is authentic; the interpreters are either of Japanese descent or Japanese (either greencard or immigrant). The place gives you a good vibe of the early 20th centure and the development through to the mid 1940s. Everything is close by and the self-guided tour takes (excluding the history interpreters) about 30 minutes. There are lots and lots of free-running chicken. Don’t feed or touch. Oranges and Macademia can be picked and you can eat it. It’s free, but there is a donation box; be fair and consider what the fruits/nuts would cost at a store. The entrance has free coffee and tea samples which are nice. Only bummer are the openning hours. Unless you are there right after they open, you are guaranteed to walk in the brightest/hotest sun. Take sun protection!
(Translated by Google) The scenery that actually lived what the life of the Nikkei in Hawaii was saved is preserved. There seems to be cooking for lunch and cooking. I can hear the story of that time. I am very happy to know the Nikkei history as well as the Kona coffee history! (Original) ハワイの日系人の暮らしがどんなものであったかを実際に住んでいた風景が、保存されてます。そこでは自炊をしていて昼ごはんを、作っているようです。その当時のお話が、聞くことができます。コナのコーヒーの歴史とともに、日系人の歴史も知ることができて大満足です!
An amazing place to learn about the history of Kona coffee. Beautiful park site. The staff are very knowledgeable and personable with great education programs. Nice programs on what life was like on a coffee plantation in the 1930’s with costumed living history staff. You can see a wide variety of fruit and vegetables that are grown on the island of Hawai’i. Small gift shop with nice assortment of Kona cofffee. The Mele Estate grown coffee is outstanding. Definitely worth a stop.
Today (8/2/17) we visited the Living History Farm with our daughters, ages 11 and 14. The interpreters were warm, patient and by their pace and demeanor, really helped our kids get a sense of times gone by. Anyone who is interested in coffee, immigration, the Japanese-American experience or the history of agriculture will find this a rich little gem. Highly recommended! GL & SM of Bethesda, Maryland
Poor value for money. Small place very little coffee tasting offered. Some antique machines and hand picking coffee. It takes about 15 min to spend the 15$ you spend. Not worth going.
Interesting place when you can see a production line, taste and buy coffee.
I'm only an occasional coffee drinker, but I really enjoyed their coffee and tea samples and thought the tour was fascinating.
(Translated by Google) It was well communicated that the guide cherishes this place very much. The Japanese are places to visit. Come if you come to Hawaii Island! (Original) ガイドの方がこの場所をとても大切にしているのがよく伝わりました。日本人こそ訪れるべき場所です。ハワイ島に来たら是非!
Working historic coffee plantation in a very scenic setting. Their crew of dedicated and friendly tour guides is in full 1920s costumes and they know all there is to know of coffee production and life on the farm back in the days. We got to taste their amazing sun dried coffee and pick a sweet juicy orange. Quite a treat! Also, the two donkeys are a sure hit with the kids.
The Kona Coffee Living History Farm was a completely charming and enlightening visit. Our docent Barry was relaxed and knowledgable - clearly someone who both regards the art of coffee-making and honors the traditions from which the current Kona Coffee reputation grew - he capably shared his knowledge of the coffee-related aspects of this plantation as well as many other botanical curiosities encountered along the way. We were fortunate that our visit coincided with that of 90-year-old 'Mikeson', one of the original founders of the plantation and a current Board Member, who demonstrated the art of coffee roasting by having one of us perform the feat itself in one of the earliest methods: in a cast-iron skillet! Fascinating. From there we were provided an historical tour of the original family's home - primitive by today's standards, but simple and beautiful in it's own way. Coffee farming wasn't merely a way of making a living - it was a way of life. And finally we were guided through he traditional vintage implements, techniques and technologies that were (and are) used to grow, harvest and process the coffee bean. The warmth and reverence by which our three tour hosts relayed their information made for an unforgettable glimpse into the art of coffee production in general and the dedication necessary to produce the purity of Kona Coffee.
History and good Kona coffee.
I don’t think I’ve ever had a tour like the one when I was in for Hawaii. I find that many tours are milked our and the tour guide talks too much about random things that pertain no relevance to what’s really going on. But here, it’s far different, I’ve never seen so much history come to life so easily. You can easily see people doing their household chores, the women cooking and utilising their rice bags in the most intricate and genius of ways. UNBELIEVABLY AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!!
Very peaceful. Nice people. Informative.
Expert staff help visitors step back in time.
Jim and Kimberly were very informative, we learned a lot.
The farm has such a personal feeling to it and the staff are incredibly friendly and informative! The house itself was really interesting to see showing a mixture of 20th century Japanese and American architecture across multiple generations.
That was an amazing tour!!! Highly recommend. They have the old coffee trees and the great history about coffee farming. Guides are very professional and tells a lot of interesting stories and facts about coffee.
A great tour of coffee making, history of the farm, and Japanese's life in Kona. Taste some delicious oranges and cookies!
Sweet little place. Docents are very knowledgeable and open to questions. A glimpse at early coffee growing on a small family scale.
Great place to visit, especially with children. Short walking tour with patient and detailed explanations of life on a coffee farm circa 1920-1940. Well worth a stop and tour. Allow 1-1.5 hours.
Loved learning the background to my morning cup of coffee! The people who work here are so dedicated and you can tell they love what they do. Def a great stop while you are in Kona!
(Translated by Google) I understood well that the Japanese explained. My mind goes down to the efforts and hardships of the Japanese people. (Original) 日本人お方が説明してくれて良くわかりました。 日本人の努力と苦労に頭が下がります。
Wonderful place and people. We were there for over 2 hours learning about medicine and the history of coffee
A Must See! If you are in Kealakekua, stop by! Get your dose of Kona's History! Crack a fresh macnut under a macnut tree. TALK story with Costumed Interpreters. Definitely worth spending time!
An awesome place for coffee lover. They brewed fresh coffee and there have a variety of samples that you can try and pick what you like. They plant the coffee bean and roast at the same location. If you drive to this location, make sure to be careful and look around before make a turn. The road is narrow and the entrance to this place is pretty hard to spot. Have fun and enjoy the experience.
Not sure what I expected, but $15 per person seemed expensive
What a gem
(Translated by Google) Small but nice! We got everything explained calmly and are now real coffee professionals. Even the lovingly furnished house of the former owners was totally interesting and a look into the Japanese culture. (Original) Klein aber fein! Wir bekamen in aller Ruhe alles erklärt und sind jetzt richtige Kaffeeprofis. Auch das liebevoll eingerichtete Wohnhaus der ehemaligen Besitzer war total interessant und ein Blick in die japanische Kultur.
Very nice staff and good tour
Enjoyed the mochi making demonstration.
A must if you are interested in the history of Kona and coffee growing in the Kona region. The staff was great.
History of Japanese in Kona
Wow! What a fun morning! Not sure what to expect when we planned our visit (considering coffee was out of season). We were greeted with a smile and allowed to explore the property on our own terms. The guest speakers they had visiting for the day had loads of charisma and interesting stories and information to share. Worth the visit and hopefully we’ll return in the future!
Thanks to this place I can only drink peaberry coffee now.
(Translated by Google) I can not recommend this farm after visiting others where we have been given coffee tastings and tours to the farm for free. In this place they call it "museum" but it is only a plantation where you pay to walk with her without a tour. We were not offered to try coffees. Having so many good options around, this one is not worth it. (Original) No puedo recomendar esta hacienda después de haber visitado otras donde nos han dado de catar cafés y tours a la granja de manera gratuita. En este lugar lo llaman "museo" pero no es más que una plantación donde pagas por caminar con ella sin tour. No nos ofrecieron probar cafés. Habiendo tantos opciones buenas alrededor, esta no merece la pena.
(Translated by Google) Super interesting and designed with a lot of heart and led. A must do ... !!!!!! (Original) Super interessant und mit sehr viel Herz gestaltet und geführt. Ein must do...!!!!!!
Very interesting
A great walk back in time to see how the early coffee grew and harvested there product..
A very authentic walk back in history. Worth the visit! Staff super friendly and knowledgeable. Beautiful.
History of Kona Coffee and families living here - so interesting and we had so much fun.
Staff is friendly.
This was great for learning but I felt the pricing should have been a little lower
Great visit. Loved the historic coffee processing experience
We visited and I had some of the coffee. It was very interesting to watch them roast and prepare the coffee.
Interesting history. 15.00 per person fee was a bit steep but I considered it a donation. Hawaii has lots of farming history that we should understand.
Kona Coffee Living History Farm is situated on the South West side of the Big Island and a great place to visit. I didn't take the tour inside, but did end up buying a couple of bags of their coffee and mist say it is hands down some of the best coffee I've tasted. The donkey was cool, but no touching! Lol I will go back next time to get some more coffee.
Beautiful place !
