Price is a huge thing. With that many trees they must have been doing only 2klbs of coffee a year on the high end (green). I don't see how they could have been doing "quite well" as green Kona beans sell for like $40-60/lb (a lot considering most green coffee is like $8 or so a pound).

In farming it seems that co-ops generally offer a little better price to the farmer than the usual list of suspects. Especially if your buyer is far enough away that it begins to affect the quality of your yield.
