What's the best coffee farm to visit on Kona?

We'll be in Kona Oct 5 and I was wondering what's the best coffee farm to tour or should we just look for Kona coffee in the shops? Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I can't vouch that's it's the best, but the last time we were in Kona, we went to the Bayview Farm Coffee Plantation. The person who showed us around was very informative, and we actually got a private tour around the farm. I think it was well worth the time, and found it very informative. It's really nice to know how 'stuff' actually gets from ground to our store shelves!

Thanks kwokpot and spleen. That certainly heads me in the right direction.

We thoroughly enjoyed visiting the Holualoa Coffee plantation. It was very rustic and homey and the staff were very nice. I still order my coffe from there.
