Mission: The Very Best, Kona Coffee

Mission: The Very Best, Kona Coffee

The gentle slopes of the Holualoa, located on the western side of the Big Island, produces what has become known as one of the world’s best coffees. Located at about 1,200 feet above sea level, in the heart of the coffee belt, are where you can find our farms. Many factors go into crafting the flavor that is known as ‘Ohana Harbor’s & Redbird 100% Kona Coffees. Mother Nature has given our farms perhaps the finest growing conditions, with just the right amount of rain, ample amounts of sunshine and a rich volcanic soil full of nutrients, to produce our coffee. Assisting Mother Nature, our family takes time to care, the coffee plants are cultivated into generating a rich tasting Kona Coffee bean. We hand pick, carefully process and sun-dry these beans before delicately roasting small batches. We at ‘Ohana Harbor Coffee/Redbird strive to grow the finest quality, best tasting 100% pure Kona Coffee available today. We enjoy what we do and believe the energy we put into our farming reflects in the quality and taste of the coffee you purchase and enjoy!

How it all began

Like so many parents and grandparents, Steve and Ronna Schreiner love to spend time with their children and grandchildren. With their family as their inspiration, they wanted to grow a natural product and give something back to the world. The coffee business was an opportunity to pursue a farming venture in which their family could all take part. Not only is the coffee business competitive and demanding, but Steve and Ronna realized a family-owned and operated coffee business would be an excellent way for family members to learn and grow as they work together to build a successful business and make a strong contribution to an important industry. So in 2006, the Schreiners embarked on a new journey. They bought a small coffee farm, called Donkey Mill, on the Big Island of Hawaii in North Kona. They bought the farm without much farming knowledge or experience, but sought advice from several coffee farming friends. The following year, they looked for additional land with a house so they could tend to their farm longer. Just down the road they found a farm with a house and business, called Redbird Kona Coffee, and they now had 14 acres of coffee farms. A few months later, Steve and Ronna bought a nearby 5-acre coffee farm and home from a neighbor and named it 'Ohana Harbor. They now had three farms and 21 acres of planted and producing coffee trees.
