Mālama da Farmer Grantee: A Coffee Farm
With support from Mālama Da Farmer grants, this beginning coffee farm is building a strong foundation for a thriving operation in Ka‘ū. The funding helps purchase essential equipment like a coffee pulper and dryer, expand their solar system, and cover professional services including marketing and business consulting. By combining sustainable practices, community partnerships, and hands-on learning, the farm is growing high-quality Hawaiian coffee while creating jobs, educational opportunities, and a space for visitors to connect with the land and local culture.
