Roots & Roasts: Bayview Farm Coffee
Who Are We? Discover Bayview Farm Coffee
Welcome to Bayview Farm Coffee, located in the heart of Kona, Hawaii. We're not just any coffee farm—we're a legacy of passion, quality, and innovation. Our story begins with Andrew Roy and his family, who have revolutionized the coffee industry with their unwavering commitment to excellence and education.
A Legacy of Excellence
Our roots go back to 1825 when Reverend Samuel Ruggles brought coffee from Brazil to Hawaii. Initially, it struggled to grow in Oahu, but found its perfect environment in Kona's unique climate and volcanic soil, ideal for nurturing the finest Arabica Typica beans.
Bayview Farm has been at the forefront of this legacy since 1993. Under Andrew Roy's guidance, our farm became one of the largest processing mills, renowned for its top-notch quality and dedication to sustainable practices. Roslyn Roy, Andrew's wife, added her retail expertise and PR skills, establishing our iconic Gazebo. Opened in 1994, it was the first of its kind in the Kona Coffee industry, offering free tours and tastings to help visitors identify genuine Kona coffee amid a sea of counterfeits.
The Heart of Our Farm
Our farm spans 25 acres and is home to around 40,000 coffee trees, flourishing in Kona's rich volcanic soil and ideal weather conditions. We take immense pride in our traditional hand-picking methods, ensuring only the best coffee cherries are selected. Our meticulous care extends to every step of the process, from pulping and fermentation to sun-drying and roasting, all aimed at producing coffee of unparalleled quality.
