ABOUT US
OLD HAWAIIAN COFFEE is a ten acre farm using Traditional Organic farming methods. The coffee plantation and coffee mill are owned by Misha Sperka and the Sperka family. We have been operating our farm for the past seventeen years. Our plantation was originally known as the Peaberry Farm and we changed the name in 1991. Coffee was originally planted on this farm as long ago as the 1830-1840 period. We are located in SOUTH KONA about 25 miles South of Kailua-Kona, on the western slope of Mauna Loa, in Honaunau, Big Island of Hawaii.
We have been ORGANIC since 1992 and use only Traditional Organic Marming methods. Our growing and processing motto is "Think Organarchy". We grow our coffee using No chemical fertilizers, NO herbicides, and NO pesticides. NO GMO. We are able to control the tropical weed and vine problem with a small herd of St Croix-Barbados short haired sheep. Fortunately coffee is a hardy plant so we are able to let the trees grow as nature intended them to grow. We apply no chlorinated water to the fields and use natural rain fall. Days usually start off with a beautiful sunny morning but often in late morning we have a daily cloud cover and light rain.
This year-2009 and 2010-we have had considerably less rain than normal. This drought is due to the EL NINO season. It will be nice to have La Nina again. Ocean temperatures are 75 degrees and normally in February they are 69 to 70. There is slightly more cloud cover due to the increased volcanic activity and higher vog in the air caused by Puu O'o and Hale Maumau.
We grow all of our own coffee and do the complete processing and roasting on our farm. From the "tree" to the "post office". Check out our Coffee Tour page of this site. We fit into the KONA COFFEE business in that we process coffee for about twenty farms. WE separate each farms coffee in all stages of processing. Each farmer bringing coffee in for processing gets his or her coffee back. All coffee brought into in our processing mill is handled in an organic manner with filtered chlorine free water, separate soaking bins for each batch. Coffee is roasted daily after it has been drymilled.
Coffee mailed out each day for coffee orders is usually roasted the same morning it is sent out.
If you are ever visiting the Big Island of Hawaii, you are always welcome to visit our farm. Please try to call (

) the evening before a desired visit because we are often in fields. If you come during the harvest season we might even get you to pick a couple of the holy coffee beans.
