Bay View Farm produces four principal flavors of Light, Medium, Dark and Decaffeinated 100% Kona coffees, ground or whole bean.  30 minute guided tours take the visitor through the plantation, the production facility, the drying and weighing area and the roasting facility. The local guides, now the third generation, all grew up working on the farm. Free tasting of the coffee takes place at the beautiful visitors’ center and gift store.  Bay View Coffee Farms owes its exclusive tastes to hard work, persistency and the never ending desire to produce the most powerful yet pleasant coffee. In their quest for a superior Kona coffee, Grandpa “Dale” Young, Andy Roy, and his wife, Roz took on the challenge in 1984. Andy and Roz
began their quest for the perfect Kona Coffee with an elderly couple who had a passion for growing coffee. They taught Andy the intricate details of growing the cherry bean at Bay View Farm on the slopes of Hualalai and Mauna Loa, in the North and South Kona districts of the Big Island of Hawaii.  Situated between 500 and 700 feet above sea level, the area’s micro-climate provides for cloud-cover during the hot afternoons, creating the unique characteristics and taste characteristic of Bay View Farm coffees.  To obtain the smooth rich taste of Bay View 100% Kona Coffee, the plant must be nurtured. Success depends upon the right soil, rich in volcanic content; the right temperature, warm in the mornings, cool
in the afternoons and gentle showers to caress the bean with added nutrients; picking the bean at the “right” time when the bean is silky red. Milling, curing, and drying the bean must also be done under the “right” conditions and finally, after the bean has been cared for, the Master Roaster adds the finishing touches to create a true masterpiece.
