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, our sheep Shirley and 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.

Such a cute place! They gave us a ton of samples of everything. Delicious chocolate and coffee. The kids loved the animals. Great spot to break up the drive to... read more the south side of the island.

Five stars for Julie who greeted us so graciously and the products they sell. There was another very nice woman working there, but didn't catch her name. It's a cute... read more little store in a farm that you pass by when going to the southern most point of the island. When we came in she gave us samples of all the varieties of macadamia products they sell and gave us information on the farm. Very generous. They also had samples of their coffee with milk and sugar available.
Wow, their macadamia products are so different than the mainstream products I've had. The chocolate is high quality and I like the way they dehydrate the nuts. They also had different flavors without chocolate. It was so hard to choose. Got some coffee also which was really smooth. They sell honey too, but didn't get to try that as we had been to another bee farm earlier. They have frozen slushies for the kids to try and buy.
For people with kids, I will have to say that one of the owners can be a little "quirky". Kids can't really run around on the grass since there's a pet pig around that the owner warns you about. Just a few other warnings posted and mentioned by the owner. Anyway, come here to try some samples, buy amazing products, and hopefully get greeted by awesome, friendly people like Julie.
*pro-tip: they ship also and free shipping at a certain price point!Sherille S.

Stopped here upon the recommendation provided in the Shaka Guide app while doing the Epic South Island tour and it was one of our best stops of the day. We... read more stopped after taking in the cliffs at South Point. We really needed a snack and potty stop. And boy did we make the most of it. There was Ample parking, and the staff was super friendly. Julie gave us the low down on everything while our group made themselves comfortable. We tasted Everything, some a few more than once. There was something for everyone in our group (had a few gluten free and Vegans) all found something to munch on. One of the best perks is the opportunity for the free shipping when you spend over $125 (which is not hard!) My only regret is that I did not buy more bags of the Dark Chocolate coffee Crunch.

This is a worthy stop and use of your time while returning to main road from South Point. A free tasting of their coffee varietals, chocolates; seasoned macadamia nuts and... read more cookies. Place offers free shipping on orders over $125. Farm has animals (birds, pig) roaming..don't leave your bag of treats on ground or Penny the pig will make fast track to them. Local artist on grounds so you can also buy pieces or walk the studio. Bathroom on-site.

Lovely small farm with free tasting and tours. Very low key and informative. The guides were around to answer questions and show us around the beautiful herb garden. Lots of banana trees, coffee trees and avocado trees. And they use aquaponics and you can learn all about the benefits of that kind of farming!

We absolutely LOVED our time at Paradise Meadows! The staff was so knowledgeable and interesting! I had no idea the owner was a Cordon Bleu trained chef! No wonder everything was so delicious! They were so generous with the samples - helping us find just the right treats and shipping them home for us! We loved wandering around this little farm, learning all about the different processes and asking questions. We will definitely be re-ordering our favorites! #letsguide

Came across this farm using the Shaka Self guided tour of the South Island.
This was such a pleasant stop to stretch out legs and even grab... read more snacks (great before or after Greensand Beach)! Breezy, beautiful grounds and staff provided education on products grown on their farm and sold at the store. Delicious choices of macadamia products (theirs are dehydrated not dry roasted), honey, shortbread and even tropical flavored slushies. They offer ample free sampling of their products, slushies included. Lots of parking and picnic table to enjoy snacks.
