KAILUA KONA, Hawaii — It's only 2½ acres, but it's the best Kona has to offer.

Kona Old Style, a small organic farm at the 2,200-foot elevation in Kealakekua, won the top prize Thursday at the 21st annual Kona Coffee Cultural Festival's cupping contest.

Co-owner Una Greenway credits her organic methods and the age of the trees for the win.

"I'm totally shocked. Now I know how Miss America feels," said Greenaway, who owns Kona Old Style with her husband, Leon Rosner. "We had a good year. We love our farm."
