Pictured are fields of coffee plants at the historic Greenwell Farms in Kealakekua, Hawaii. It was established by Englishman Henry Nicholas Greenwell in 1850. He was later joined by his wife Elizabeth Caroline, and the couple would spend the next 40 years farming, ranching and producing Kona Coffee. In 1873 the President of Kaiser`s Exposition awarded them with a `Recognition Diploma` for their Kona Coffee at the World`s Fair in Vienna, Austria. Later generations of the family have marshaled in the modern era of specialty coffee in Kona and play an important part in Hawaii`s coffee industry today.
