Kona Lisa Coffee: 100% Pure Kona Estate Coffee

Welcome to Cornerstone Farms, home of Kona Lisa coffee. We grow, pick and roast our Kona coffee with a singular focus on producing some of the finest gourmet, estate grown coffee in the world. We offer our coffee in two different roasts: French roast and full city roast. For the home roaster, we sell Kona green coffee beans-unroasted coffee beans.

We hope you will find our coffee a fragrant, smooth, mellow brew. The best Kona coffee is noted for low acidity levels—much less than most store bought blends. Our two roasts allow you the opportunity to experience gourmet Kona coffee with two different tastes: the slightly woodsy and smoky flavor of our French roast and the full city roast, a delicate and rich aromatic coffee with low acidity.

Our Coffee Farm in Captain Cook, Hawaii

Our corner of paradise is located in the Kona coffee belt on the Big Island of Hawaii.  Most Kona coffee farms experience the morning sun, afternoon clouds, frequent rain and farm in lava-rich soil. This creates the perfect growing conditions for gourmet coffee to thrive.

If you are visiting we are on your way to Kealakekua Bay, the Captain Cook Monument, the Painted Church or the historic Place of Refuge just off Napo’opo’o Road. Our farm is on the corner of Painted Church and Middle Keei Roads. While you are in the neighborhood stop by and see what's in season!

Our Story: How We Became Kona Coffee Farmers

A little about us. We moved to Hawaii in the spring of '07 looking for a little coffee farming and ocean play. We found beautiful Cornerstone Farms with 7 acres of coffee trees and have settled into producing our own delicious estate grown Kona coffee. I am Ron (the bean picker) and my wife is Mary.  We previously hail from Michigan where we were state employees for our careers and then lived a few years in East Tennessee where we spent our short lived retirement. I did a bit of handyman work for myself, daughters and friends while Mary did some work at the Tennessee Theater. While vacationing in Kona with friends we were intrigued by the idea of coffee farming. What is most interesting about coffee farming is that it seems so simple (not easy). Compared to most farming little equipment is used in raising coffee as most of the work is plain old manual labor. Right up my alley!

You can meet us every week at the Keauhou Farmers Market on every Saturday morning.
