Green Coffees of HawaiiWith Enthusiasm, I invite you to take in a glimpse of our daily life here at Rooster Farms. Being together for 21 years now, and living in New York much of that time, Ed and I took a huge leap and came to Big Island in late 2015. Ed is an environmental engineer and myself an artist working with biological and plant-based materials; we inform our skills with our passions and are seed-to-cup and Kona-coffee farmers and roasters in a new generation :] We took on the Oldest Certified Organic Kona coffee farm and learned everything we could from who I like to call Master Mike, Mike Craig, the former farmer. Mike retired as we moved in but his heart and hard work is clearly imbued into the farm's spirit.
Ed and I share the farm work but it is truly he who understands things such as Soil Science, Sustainable and Permaculture farming; our in-house agronomist! We do not have a perfectly-planted farm but instead a wild Agroforest with various plants working together in the soil's microbiome - it is sometimes difficult to tell where the farm stops and the jungle begins :]
I am the master roaster and am continually learning more about the nuances of roasting. We have a beloved vintage Sivetz fluidized-bed manual air roaster, and we only roast 9-19 Lbs at time which means we can roast to order so our coffee is always incredibly fresh.
Rooster Farms thrives each day and is excited to announce a continually record harvest since we applied Ed's agricultural technology, and its first win ever, for the 2016 annual Kona Coffee Cultural Festival's Cupping Contest!

Please check back very soon for Brewing Kits, Gift Sets, and a tasty choice of the many brewing methods that are taking the coffee world by storm! There is no Right Way to brew -- only what tastes best for you, perhaps even just for the moment! [ We alternate occasionally but are especially fans of the Pour Over method and Turkish Style coffee, depending on the taste-mood of the day ]
1- Liked for its customizability for the perfect cup - rich taste or lighter brew; single cup or a carafe. Works well with a few types of grinds;
2- Retains more naturally occurring oils for a smooth and flavorful brew;
3- Not for the faint of tongue; a powder-fine grind is boiled in directly, becoming the best part at the end of the cup. Add cardamom for unique flavor
4- There is much debate to get the 'right' cold brew; we like to keep it simple and leave the brew in the refrigerator overnight for 8 hours or more.
5- According to some passionate coffee-lovers, this might be the ultimate coffee brew. Your taste buds will tell you whether or not it is for you!
6- One of the earliest and still one the very tastiest methods to get a simple espresso or coffee brew. A very rich and smooth cup results.
