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 - 4 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.

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.

  • Really fun place to check out! They have animals, art, shortbread, chocolate, coffee, ... The shortbread and chocolate covered macadamia nuts were the best I've ever had! The people running the place are really nice and serve generous tastings. This is a must stop on the route from Kona to Volcano!

  • Found this little gem on the way to the southern most point of the states and so happy we did!! She gave us about 7 or 10 different nuts and chocolates to try- almost a whole dinner! They were all absolutely amazing and they do deals if you buy more than one, so of course we had to leave with 3 flavors! They had cool birds and ducks and the little gallery had a cute kitty! They were super friendly and im so happy we got to stop here! We didn't get to try the honey but I'm sure it was great! Highly reccomend for a little snack or just at least a little fun thing to get out and do and look at on your drive to wherever! Mahalo to all the nice people there!

  • Super cute farm and very thorough sampling. Julie is so so nice and we really enjoyed our time talking to her. There is a free self-guided tour around the farm where you can get up close to what’s happening here. The bathrooms are very clean and there is even a shower to rinse off if you’d like. Megan’s spectacular artwork is scattered all throughout the farm and there are a variety of different options from prints to hand touched canvases. Highly recommend stopping here! If you get hungry there is a little food truck where you can grab a bite to eat. We got the fish and chips and the fish was great.

  • Incredible stop on the way to or from South Point or Green Sand Beach. They have showers if you're coming from the beach. Birds. Fish. A little art building. Clean bathrooms. Food truck. Delicious FREE samples of macademian nuts, chocolate, coffee, and honey. An amazing group of people working here.
