Green Gecko Coffee

Green Gecko Coffee is the proud winner of the multiple Gold Award Medals at the Kona Coffee Council?s premier Cream Of The Crop - A Kona Coffee Extravaganza event: both for the Chef?s Choice (awarded by the top chef?s on the Kona/Kohala Coast) and the People?s Choice (awarded by the attendees at the event).The farm offers tours so visitors may enjoy the natural beauty of the farm and learn about the sustainable design of the farm and its operations. The unique beauty of Hawaii is alive and thriving at Green Gecko Coffee, and the land itself embodies the rich history of the island. As part of a larger project, Green Gecko Coffee has initiated through the Big Island Resource Development Council and Hawaii State Department of Agriculture, a cultural survey of the land conducted by archaeological experts. This process has unearthed the secrets and stories of the farm, from pre-contact ancient Hawaiian life to Japanese coffee plantations of the 18th century to the present age and what we see now. The activities for tourists abound and offer a menu of choices to suit individual tastes. A tour of a working, small scale coffee farm like Green Gecko farm is a trip well worth taking and off the beaten tourist track. Walking the grounds and talking with the farmers you learn not only about the unique Kona coffee trade and sample their delicious brew, you have an unparalleled glimpse into Hawaii?s past, present and future.
