Anyone remember a Kona Coffee Farmer from Usenet Newsgroups?

Hi! This is a longshot, but does anyone remember a woman who was a Kona coffee farmer that lived along a high and winding road? She posted a lot in the Usenet Newsgroups before there was a WWW. Many of us bought coffee from her. Can anyone tell me her name or the name of the farm? Thanks!

If you remember which channel you may want to see if any of the archives still have history... https://www.usenetarchives.com/

I sure do miss Usenet. The joys of downloading files via Usenet and UUEncoded files only to get 99% of the file and realize one was corrupt... before par2 files existed.

That sounds like a nostalgic and specific memory! Have you tried posting in coffee-related forums or groups that have been around for a long time? There might be fellow coffee enthusiasts who remember her or have information about the farmer or farm you’re looking for. It’s amazing how online communities can sometimes help reconnect with past experiences and connections.
