I'm Page. The main reason we are fortunate enough to live on our wonderful farm in Hawaii is due to my wife’s efforts.

We live on our coffee farm in the south Kona district of the Big Island of Hawaii. This has been a coffee farm for over 150 years. Some of the coffee trees are over 100 years old.

The farm is located in the Kona coffee belt that produces the world’s best coffee. The farm was owned originally and for over 80 years by a Japanese family. The farm has over 7,000 coffee trees. We also have 125 Mac Nut trees, numerous avocado trees, orange, grapefruit, tangerine, lyche, guava, mango, papaya, pineapple, and mountain apple trees. Truly a wonderful place that we are blessed to live on.

We work on and with the farm. As needed we hire local workers to assist in the harvesting of the coffee and Mac nuts. It is hard work but we enjoy it.

At the end of the day or anytime during the day we can enjoy the view of the ocean and the mountains. The air is always fresh and clean. The farm is located in an area that gets an ideal amount of rain for growing coffee. We get on average 40-60 inches of rain a year. The rain normally falls in the afternoon or evenings. It may only rain for 15 or 30 minutes each day or we occasionally get a 3 hour rain shower. The rain is normally light and warm but we have gotten some real cloud bursts! Once we got over 6 inches in less than 2 hours! Then at night there are the stars, more than you probably ever imagined seeing.

You are welcome to stop by for a visit when you are on the Big Island and in Kona. We will provide you with a tour of our little 7 acre farm.

Aloha, I'm Yoko.

Why Kona? Everyone asked us (Page and Yoko) when we suddenly announced to friends we were moving in 2005. I (Yoko) could not answer them.

I had never been in any of the Hawaiian Islands. However, when I was a child, one of my great aunts visited my family from Hawaii. She was a immigrant working on the pineapple farms. That was her last visit to Japan because she was old. She wanted to visit her parents and brothers grave. My family was the only living relatives she had in Japan. She brought us western influences! It was 1960'. For a country girl like me, Hawaii is far away place and like the heaven where it has everything!

At that time, I believe, I started to dream I would go to America! I reached America finally I was 35 years old and took 10 years to settle in this Big Island of Hawaii!

Why Kona? I don't know, but I felt that is the place I should live. I feel finally I came back to home.

There is the ocean, beautiful waterfalls, tropical rain forests, mountains, volcanoes, and prairie. I can drink my own wonderful 100% Kona coffee every day!!

So Why not?
