MauiGrown Coffee has announced its 2025-26 harvest, marking a return to production following the 2023 Lahaina wildfire.

Company president Kimo Falconer said the fire destroyed its mill facilities and retail store, but its Kaanapali coffee fields survived and were maintained during recovery efforts, according to the company.

“We have deeply appreciated the many well wishes and continued support as we rebuild from the Lahaina wildfire,” said Kimo Falconer, president of MauiGrown Coffee. “Although our wet and dry mill facilities and the MauiGrown Coffee Company Store were completely destroyed in the fire, the coffee fields in Kaanapali remained the shining stars and have been maintained and nurtured during the interim. It’s been over two years since our last harvest, and we are basically starting from scratch, with the exception of the coffee trees.”

The recent harvest produced coffee cherries that were processed at temporary facilities in Central Maui while the company plans to rebuild its permanent milling operations in Kaanapali.

MauiGrown Coffee said its green coffee varieties are again available for wholesale purchase, including Red Catuai, Yellow Caturra, Typica and Maui Mokka.

Roasted coffee is not currently sold through its company store, which was destroyed in the fire, but remains available through select retailers statewide.
