Preserving Agriculture and Open Space
An innovative vision for land use in Hawai‘i.
What ties the generations to a family farm? What draws urbanites, nature lovers and free spirits to experience farm life for the first time? Once you've known the beauty and serenity of a life lived close to the land, you'll see why ownership at Ka‘anapali Coffee Farms is an extraordinary proposition.
The coffee farm you buy today will not be a strip mall tomorrow. Each Ka‘anapali Coffee Farms lot is zoned for agriculture. By law and by design, your rural lifestyle will be preserved. Your coffee farm will remain a family treasure for generations to enjoy.

Years of community outreach by landowner Kaanapali Development Corp. and its affiliates inspired the crafting of a unique concept that brings coffee growers together with coffee lovers. Master growers who have worked the land for decades contract with the Farm Lot Owners Association to farm the property. These growers entirely manage the coffee farming operations, from the planting through the harvesting and distribution. For the resident Farm Lot Owner, it's a delightful way to experience both the soul of farming and the science of coffee cultivation at one's leisure, without the distractions of daily farm managment.
How the concept works
On your Farm Lot, a "Farm Dwelling Site" of roughly one acre will be set aside for your exclusive use. You may build a main farm house and a second farm dwelling of up to 1000 square feet. You may also build a barn, workshop or other out-building that relates to the farming operation. The community's Design Guidelines will ensure that all construction supports the agricultural land use and will help keep the neighborhood architecture appropriate and pleasing.
Most of the acreage beyond the Farm's Dwelling Sites will be planted in coffee trees. Kaanapali Farm Services, Inc. tends the crop and MauiGrown Coffee, Inc. harvests it under contracts with the community's Association. Once harvested, the crop belongs to MauiGrown Coffee which will typically mill it into "green coffee" then sell it to roasters or wholesalers.
- On your secluded acre, build a spacious island-style farm house, and still have plenty of room for gardens, swingsets and impromptu soccer games.
- Design the workshop you've always wanted, then get busy on that clubhouse you've been promising your kids.
- Ka‘anapali's mild climate calls for outdoor living on wrap-around lanais with deep eaves.
- Privacy and views were key factors in positioning each one-acre homesite. Gorgeous mauka and makai views rise above the acres of coffee trees surrounding your lot.
- Coffee trees cover the greater part of most farm lots. Kaanapali Farm Services, Inc., a subsidiary of KaanapaliDevelopment Corp., farms the land. MauiGrown Coffee, Inc. harvests the crop and pays a percentage of its proceeds to the Farm Lot Owners Association.
- In this layout, a long private drive sets the family compound back from the main roadway.
