About Us

Hualalai Ranch-Kona Hawaii (Cox Enterprises)
Hualalai Ranch is located on the slope of Mt. Hualalai which peaks at 8,271 feet.

Ranch History
The ranch was started in 1960 as a cattle operation. It covers 7,500 acres and stretches upward to the 6,000 feet elevation. Top quality purebred Santa Gertrudis and crossbred cattle are raised for market and breeding. The owners, management, and employees of Hualalai Ranch are very proud to have developed a farm in harmony with it's wet and dryland forest, water shed area and abundant wild life making it one of the most breath taking scenic areas throughout the islands.

Here are a few of the animals that inhabit the island and call our farm their home.



The ranch was diversified in 1975 with Exotic African Proteas. These cut flowers are sold locally, throughout the US, and Japan. There is 15 acres of Protea. Below are a few of the many flowers and plants that inhabit our area:



The Coffee 
In 1999, 15 acres of high elevation coffee were planted at our 2,400 ft. elevation making the ranch one of the highest coffee producing farms in the Kona Coffee Belt area. Our Estate Coffee is picked, milled, processed, and marketed from our 15 acre farm only. In this single area the soil type is the same. The trees are lightly irrigated with NO PESTICIDE USAGE . This guarantees consistency of our finish coffee.

Why Estate Coffee Is Better
Common practices are to mix coffee from many different farms to increase volume. Due to varying soil types, farming practices, and climate, the final product becomes inconsistent. At Hualalai Ranch, employees throughout a four month period hand pick only the ripest top quality coffee cherries for our milling. This process along with the high elevation location of our fields guarantee us a smooth, favorable, consistent drinking coffee. Numerous tests have been done by the Kona Coffee Council have proven that the higher elevation produces the most favorable blends of coffees.

If purchasing an 8oz. bag for the first time and you are not satisfied we will refund you the coffee charge!
