They do public free tours but we think it was Well worth the private tour! 2 hours of everything you don’t know but should about your good old morning cup of brew (and more!). Matt did a wonderful job explaining the history of coffee, the elaborate processing, and ended with a delightful sampling — an experience for the sights, smells and tastes alike. Incredibly informative and we’ll never look at coffee the same way again.

The four of us, two couples, took the private 2-hour tour with Kawena on Feb. 17, 2022. This was one of the most informative, pleasant tours we’ve ever taken. And, at a total cost of $75 (not per person), it was quite a bargain for what you experience. We got to see the coffee process from growing to bagging, and every step in between. The tour ends with a “cupping” — coffee-speak for tasting — of four different coffees. Kawena was highly personable and gracious, taking time to learn (and remember our names).
The farm itself is picturesque and filled with many different fruit trees and exotic plants, plus black pepper and vanilla beans.
Amazingly, Greenwell Farms — now run by the sixth generation — also offers a free, 1-hour public tour; but do yourself a favor and book the private tour. You won’t be disappointed. (Be sure to book a morning tour as it gets toasty on the farm.)
Thank you, Kawena, for a highly informative and enjoyable morning.

They offer several free (approximately 1-hour) tours of their coffee farm during the day. No advance reservation required but they ask you to arrive a few minutes before start of tour. Our group of 20 family members joined the 9am tour last Saturday 4/1/2023. Chai led our tour and she did a fantastic job of explaining the history of Greenwell coffee farm, guiding us through different areas of the property and explained the coffee growing and production process. The farm also grows avocados, apple bananas, pineapples and pepper vines. Chai is very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. Afterwards my family sampled their hot and iced coffee. We purchased their Peaberry and Mac Nut coffees and can't wait to try them! I would highly recommend this coffee farm!

We have visited Greenwell Farms many times over the past 15 years, including paying a recent visit on June 11th. The tasting experience was wonderful, as usual, with over nine types of coffee available to try with the honor system in place that allows you to sample as much coffee as you like. Every time we visit, we take the tour since we learn or experience something new each time. On this trip, the tour was covered by Olivia, who did an excellent job taking questions and sharing details regarding the farm history and coffee. She also took us through the grove with the oldest coffee trees on the plantation, which was a first for me. While we visit the farm often, we had family join us from the midwest on this trip. It was their first trip to Hawaii and the Greenwell Farm. They enjoyed their visit and were glad we spend the morning on the farm.

My group and I really enjoyed this tour of Greenwell Farms. Hiroshi, our tour guide, was fantastic. He was informative and funny, charismatic and genuine, and we very much appreciated his enthusiasm, especially under the broiling Hawaiian sun; it was hot but that did not diminish his efforts to show us the coffee making process.
The farm's plants were also gorgeous and deserved to be shown off. In addition to the coffee plant, we also saw bananas, peppercorns, and orchids (among others).
We ended up purchasing a bag of the dark chocolate covered macadamia nuts and they were a delicious treat.
This is one of those things where the tour guide really helps to make or break the visit, and Hiroshi took great care of us. Very thankful to him!

Olivia our tour guide was so fun! She did a fantastic job walking us around the farm, showing us the different fruits and coffee trees and was just an overall cool person. We learned a lot about what make Kona coffee special, the land and all of the time it takes to get the amazing cup of Kona coffee.The farm is a beautiful place to spend your morning (it is a farm so the sun is direct but they did provide umbrellas for those who needed protection from the sun!) smelling coffee and seeing where and how it is made. They offer free samples of all of their blends (their reserve is by far my favorite) and they also have a cute gift shop where you can purchase apparel and fresh fruits from the farm. They also have benches and picnic tables for those who would like to sit and enjoy their samples.

Their coffee has some good quality taste however I would not recommend visitors to come, and I do not agree that they reflect the majority 5 stars seen on the other reviews. The free complimentary tour was quite sad with dry information and given at a pace where it was easy for many of us to quickly lose focus and wander off. It would have been much more effective it there was more interactive material and visual demonstrations rather than ongoing verbal sentences.
The coffee sample tasting area was nice with a lot of variety. I highly recommend and redirect potential visitors to try other coffee farms, you are not missing anything here. I'm providing 3 stars because their products were decent and they offered a generous sample selection.

This was an incredibly interesting tour, absolutely free too. I learned things about coffee I've never know and I've been a coffee connoisseur for most of my life. We walked around the grounds, saw the other things they grow including peppercorns and pineapple. Their coffee is expensive, but if you get some, make sure you buy beans and not ground. I bought a sampler that was ground and I'm sure it would have been fresher if I'd bought whole bean.

What an amazing coffee tour and it was free! This tour is for both non-coffee and coffee lovers. Our guide was Chai and WOW, she is beyond amazing. She loves what she does, and it shows. We were the lucky beneficiaries of her knowledge. The tour takes you from berry to roasting and everything in between. The farm is beautiful and lots of other produce growing on the farm. We tasted the berries the coffee beans come from, lychee, pepper, and were given the most gorgeous avocado the size of a small football. The pride Chao takes in working for this farm made it all the more special. Coffee tasted great too and the prices were reasonable for 100% Kona grown coffee. We were with our three 20 something sons, and they really enjoyed it too. Not boring. Visit the farm and ask for Chai!

This was exactly what I was looking for - history, interesting stories, learning about coffee and how it is grown and processed and the added bonus was the other plants that are also grown here. I would allow at least 2 hours here to be safe - wait a bit on the front end for the next tour, a bit over an hour for the tour, then some time to shop afterwards. WELL worth my time!
Note: The tour is all walking/standing and on dirt/gravel paths. OK for someone with minor mobility issues (i.e. uses a cane) but I wouldn't recommend for anyone who can't stand for an hour. You don't walk FAR, the time is mostly spent listening to the stories and information.

can you buy Greenwell's coffee a in the airport?
Written 14 September 2017
I am not aware of that. BUT agree with the other review concerning online coffee purchase either type in browser Greenwell Farms Coffee or use the website Greenwellfarmscom
It should work and hope this helped.

Did they tell you they will roast your coffee beans for you? They do so for our farm which we sell to others. They do a rather Professional quality job! It is crowded and busy in there so probably best that you did not go inside! It is well organized and efficient for certain.
Written 1 March 2017
Our roasts are enjoyed by a lot of folks who know where we are at and how to ask for them! We are on a century old coffee farm with about 4 dozen neighbors who all have small family coffee farms.
Greenwell is in the middle of many others.
