Welcome

Welcome to Paradise Meadows Orchard & Bee Farm, home of Hawaii's Local Buzz brand of award-winning 100% Hawaiian Ka'u Coffee, fabulous 100% Hawaiian Macadamia Nuts, 100% Hawaiian Honey, Tropical Shortbread cookies, and a variety of Chocolate Covered treats including Chocolate Covered Macadamia Nuts and Chocolate Covered Coffee Beans. Paradise Meadows was recently named the Best Chocolate Shop in the entire state of Hawaii by Yelp! Come on by and taste for yourself.

Paradise Meadows occupies 75 idyllic acres in the South Point (aka Ka Lae) area of the Big Island of Hawaii. South Point itself is the southern-most part of the United States, and is located just 12 miles south of our farm on South Point Road. We grow a wide variety of crops including more than 60 acres of the best coffee you've ever tasted. We also, as our name would suggest, have beehives, and you can sample the variety of honeys that they produce year-round.

We have a farm stand that is open 7 days a week from 9 AM - 5:30 PM where you can get free samples of all of our delicious products and enjoy a brief self-guided tour of the farm. If you're planning to visit the Big Island of Hawaii and are looking for something a little different to do, please pay us a visit. Our visitors often tell us that a visit to our farm was one of the highlights of their vacation in Hawaii. When you come down South Point Rd. just look for the red tractor!

If you visit the farm you almost certainly will be greeted by our 4 parrots (3 of whom are rescued or re-homed birds). You'll see an aquaponics greenhouse -- a truly sustainable ecosystem -- where we grow lots of leafy greens and where we give our other fruiting plants (like tomatoes, cucumbers, etc.) a great start in life before we transplant them into organically fertilized soil. And you'll undoubtedly see our flock of free-range Muscovy ducks that are almost too cute to be believed.

You may see some of the other "critters" who share our lives, including Penny the formerly feral pet pig, our horse, Kai, who roams free on the farm, and our miniature goat Matilda. And you may be able to pet our 15 year old greeter kitty Pico if he's not enjoying one of his many naps.

Paradise Meadows is also home to our resident artist Megan Collins. You can see her work by visiting her website, and if you visit the farm, be sure to visit the art gallery where you can see the originals covering the walls of our farmhouse.

So -- welcome to Paradise Meadows. Make yourself at home. Feel free to browse around. And if you're ever on the Big Island of Hawaii, come down & visit us. We'd love to show you around.

  • Went her looking to learn about macadamia nuts but were mistaken. They did give you samples of all of the nuts they sell. They don't harvest their own nuts. It's a self guided tour of their small farm.

  • Excellent stop after hiking down to the green sand beach and back. Delish coffee and treats but my favorite part was the pig named Penny. Definitely stop by for the free macadamia nut and coffee tasting. You won’t leave empty handed.

  • Paradise Meadows Orchard and Bee Farm — Home of Hawaii’s Local Buzz — was hands down one of the most memorable highlights of our Hawaiian vacation! We visited last week and had an absolutely fantastic time. Steve was incredible from start to finish. He welcomed us in like family, gave us a full tour of the property, and shared so much knowledge and passion about the farm, the bees, and the local products. Getting to sample all the different kinds of honey, macadamia nuts, and chocolates was such a fun and delicious experience. The entire place has a truly magical atmosphere — peaceful, beautiful, and full of aloha spirit. You can tell how much care and love goes into everything they do there. If you’re visiting Hawaii, I strongly recommend spending a few hours here. It’s a unique local experience you won’t forget, and we’ll definitely be coming back on our next trip!

  • We really enjoyed this little detour when driving around the island. The shop had really generous samples of all their macadamia nut products (lots with chocolate, yum!). The food truck was fantastic, we had the tacos (chicken & monchong) and dragon fruit lemonade.
