100% Kona Coffee Farm
What Hawaii state certification means, why it matters for your business, and what documentation ships with every order.
More Than a Label: A Legal Standard
The Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 148 Kona Coffee program is the legal framework that governs what can and cannot be called "Kona coffee" under Hawaii state law. The Hawaii Department of Agriculture administers and enforces it. Certification is not self-declared, it requires a farm to be located within the certified Kona Coffee Belt and to document each lot with verifiable harvest and processing records.
Kona Volcano Farm holds this certification. Every lot that leaves this property is assigned a lot number tied to the picking date, the processing batch, and the assigned grade. That documentation is included in every wholesale shipment, at no extra cost.
For roasters, retailers, and brands, this means you can make accurate 100% Kona claims backed by a paper trail, not just a supplier's word. In a market where fraud is documented and consumer scrutiny is increasing, that documentation is the difference between a defensible product and a liability.
The certification tells you where the coffee was grown. The lot documentation tells you exactly when it was harvested and how it was processed. Both ship with every order.
Three Documents in Every Shipment
Hawaii State Certification
Official certification under HRS Chapter 148, administered by the Hawaii Department of Agriculture. This confirms the coffee was grown within the legally defined Kona Coffee Belt on a registered farm.

A lot number tied to the specific picking date, fermentation batch, and drying cycle. Allows your business to trace exactly when and how the beans in your shipment were processed, not just where they were grown.
Grade & Origin Record
Documentation of the assigned Hawaii state grade (Extra Fancy, Fancy, No.1, or Peaberry), the farm address, and the elevation. This is the record that supports origin claims in your marketing, labeling, and sales materials.
