About Us
We are Joanie and Ron Rowe, the owners of Rowesview Coffee Farm. Ron retired from 33 years as a Firefighter in Laguna Beach, California and Joanie retired after 23 years in education. We have owned our farm since 1994 and work the land ourselves.
We cleared the land and planted about 1,000 coffee trees. We were both avid gardeners on the U.S. mainland and coming to Hawaii has allowed us to do what we love, growing things and 100% Kona Coffee is perfect.
Our 100% Kona Coffee is mountain grown, without the use of pesticides. It is located on the slope of Mauna Loa volcano at an elevation between 1400 and 1550 feet. At this elevation the cloud cover comes in every day and shades our coffee allowing it to mature slowly. This unique condition gives our coffee beans time to reach the highest quality of prized larger grades, and denser beans such as Extra-Fancy and Fancy.
All our 100% Kona coffee is hand picked, washed, sun dried, raked, milled, graded and roasted for your drinking pleasure. We take great pride in our product and hope you will consider our coffee “The Cup You Look Forward to Every Day!”
We roast our coffee to "Medium Plus," a medium to dark roast. This roast allows the flavors to come to the surface to give you a great cup of coffee. It isn’t too light, and it isn’t too dark.
We are regular people who have found a love for growing coffee that we want to share with you.
If you're planning to visit the Big Island of Hawaii, we'd be happy to give you a private tour of the estate. Please complete the Contact Us form and select the "Visit Estate" drop-down selection and provide details of your trip to schedule a time.
Mahalo, Ron and Joanie Rowe
