Greenwell Farms (with baby)
How Baby-Friendly is Greenwell Farms?
What makes it 57% Baby-Friendly: Babies can enter all public areas free, but unpaved tour paths complicate stroller use and there is no listed nursing room or diaper station, so parents must plan extra gear and breaks.
Positives:
- Baby Counts Free: Children under 5 join tours at no extra charge on both free and private group tours.
- Flat Store Area: The retail building has level floors and wide aisles, making it easy with a stroller.
Challenges:
- Uneven Tour Paths: Tour trails are unpaved with mild slopes; small wheels may get stuck.
- No Dedicated Changing Station: Restroom stalls lack baby-changing tables; bring a portable pad for diaper changes.

Dawn Conyers
Still a lovely, old school feeling coffe farm that you can visit on a free and enriching tour. We learned about the processing of coffee, the farm's history and current operations and a lot about the botany and use of other plants on the farm. Our tour guide's narration didn't feel like narration, more like an enthusiastic and genuine sharing, like it was the first time he was getting to share his...

We liked and bought coffee from Greenwell farms since we first visited in 2010, so we came again when revisiting the Big Island 15 years later; coffee is still great and the free tour actually got much better. They now grow a lot more different things on the property and make it almost a botanical garden tour experience, so you get to learn about many things ranging from tulip tree to black peppe...

The tour goes very qui...

As someone who really enjoys coffee, I found it valuable to learn about all the different inputs and techniques that go into making something I take for granted every day. I would definitely come bac...

We opted for the private tour & coffee tasting experience and thought it was FANTASTIC. All in all it took about 3 hours and was well worth the money. Our tour guide was incredible and so knowledgeable, we got to see so much more of the farm and operation than the free tour *and* try some fruits that were growing on the farm along the way. The coffee tasting was delicious and as a coffee fan, it w...
