Kona Pacific Farmers Cooperative (KPFC) is the oldest Kona Coffee Cooperative in the United States of America with over 60 years as a business. We are a farmer owned business that grows and processes both Kona Coffee and Hawaii Grown Macadamias. We have a membership of 32 farmers. We have farmers who have small farms (that are about 1- 6 acres or so) and these farms for some have been within thei
r families for generations. Some are within their 4th/5th generation of growing and producing coffee. Kona Pacific Farmers Cooperative’s century-old facility started out as a to***co business then a pineapple cannery. When the pineapple business failed in 1910, the building was converted into a coffee processing plant. In 1967 the coop purchased it for its members use and it has been used as a coffee processing facility forgoing over 100 years. Kona Pacific Farmers Cooperative began as two separate entities - Pacific Coffee Cooperative and Sunset Coffee Cooperative. Pacific Coffee Cooperative started in 1955 under the premise of benefiting a group of coffee-producing individuals cultivating and processing coffee in the Kona district. In 1956 Sunset Coffee Cooperative was established. Pacific Coffee Cooperative and Sunset Coffee Cooperative (later known as Kona Farmers Cooperative) merged to become Kona Pacific Farmers Cooperative in 1993 and here we are still today. Our motto, "Stubborn About Quality".
