Overview

Mission

Promote educational sustainability in the coffee, chocolate, and macadamia nut industries. Our goal is to gather community support for agriculture and its journey from farm to table.

What it reported doing in 2024

On January 12 - 14, 2024, we held a one credit (registered with Kapiolani Community College), three day immersive coffee class with students and staff from Kapiolani Community College. We went through coffee sensory, roasting, and the farm to cup experience. It was another successful event and the class offered was oversubscribed. Businesses donated to the event and did not ask request for deduction of contributions (time spent, materials, etc). We were very thankful to have such wonderful support from our coffee community and their willingness to donate their time to educate the next generation.
