Farming

Kona coffee trees like the weather in Kona. Sunny mornings, cool, cloudy afternoons. Tradewinds are not a problem.

There are between 600 and 800 Kona coffee farms.

Farms may be as small as part of an acre or larger than 40 acres.

Trees might be planted in old style wherever there was a hole in the rock, or in later farms in rows. The spacing between trees and between rows may be determined by whether the owner has mechanized equipment or not.
