Aloha! Welcome to Mahina Mele Farm on the Big Island of Hawaii. We are a family run organic farm on the slopes of the world's largest mountain, Mauna Loa. We have a 10 acre organic Kona coffee and macadamia nut farm. We are happy to offer you our 100% Kona Organic coffee, Kona Rose Coffee and Izzie Macs! our certified organic macadamia nuts.

For those of you who know us from our delicious gourmet Salvadoran coffee, Zona Alta have no fear we are still dedicated to the people of El Salvador and are now entering our 6th season working with the coffee farmers there.

We never expected to live in Hawaii, but life's unexpected twists and turns have led us from the East Coast to Central America to the West Coast and now the ruggedly beautiful island of Hawaii. What an adventure! When we landed in Hawaii now over two years ago, we arrived at our new farm to find an overgrown, abandoned, weedy mess! 9check out these pictures to see the difference two years and a little TLC can make).

After much hard work, and many therapeutic trips to the beach, we are enjoying the many fruits of our labors. The farm has responded amazingly and is now turning into a beautiful, productive orchard. we look forward to our largest coffee and mac nut harvest yet. It's going to be a busy fall!

Our biggest achievement is to be able to share the rewards of this productive land with you. Try our Kona Rose coffee, 100% Kona certified organic coffee. All those stories you've heard about Kona coffee are true. It is the best coffee in the world and remember if it's not 100%, it's not Kona.

For you mac nut lovers you are in for a treat! Our Izzie Macs! are out of this world delicious dehydrated and lightly sea salted, they are super crunchy, buttery and highly addictive!

In addition to our coffee and mac nuts we have about 40 (we are still counting) different tropical fruit trees. There is always something yummy to nibble on while we are working in the orchard.

And let's no forget how we got here. We spent two and a half years living and working in El Salvador as Peace Corps Volunteers. After that amazing experience we stayed in country to work with the coffee farmers there. Thus was born Zona Alta, a wonderfully smooth, delicious Central American coffee like no other. We are now in our 6th year working with the farmers in El Salvador.

Is it mere coincidence that we have Zona Alta and Kona? It sounds like it was meant to be. Two great coffees, each with its own distinct taste - you have to try them both.

Jackfruit - a species of tree of the mulberry family (Moraceae) and its fruit, native to southwestern India. It is well suited to tropical lowlands. The fruit is huge, seldom less than about 25 cm in diameter. The fruits can reach 36 kg in weight and up to 90 cm long and 50 cm in diameter. The jackfruit is the largest tree borne fruit in the world. The sweet yellow sheaths around the seeds are about 3-5 mm thick and have a taste similar to pineapple but milder and less juicy.

Ice Cream Bean - a large nitrogen fixing tree which produces bean pods up to 1 metre long which contain sweet, juicy, white pulp that has a soft cotton wool texture and tastes of vanilla ice-cream. Comes from Central and Southern America.
