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.

  • Best of the Big Island! My personal award recommendation. Friendly, educational, and loaded with goodies. Mac nuts are the best I've tasted. And do request a tasting to help you decide which you like. If you're lucky, you'll get to see the pig chase the ducks around the farm.

  • We visited last year and this year both and great experience both times. Products are great and employees are super helpful and accommodating. First time we were covered in dirt from green sand beach and that's how we discovered it. I've also ordered online from them and that was easy. I'll probably visit every time I come here. Their macadamias are dehydrated instead of roasted so they have a distinct crunch. Chocolate barks are all great. Their peaberry coffee is my fave. Cheers from your biggest fans in Oklahoma!

  • Place is amazing and would highly recommend stopping. Staff is beyond friendly, then give you more samples than you could ask for, and property is beautiful. Please stop here.

  • I absolutely loved this place, the vibe here is right. You come into a jungle ish parking lot with a chocolate and coffee bean shop. The whole farm is in the jungle and there are very funny parrots and ducks walking around, so adorable. We were also greeted with some kind employees and especially the parrots were very entertaining!

  • Great place to check out a local small plantation. They give out free samples and are very friendly, no pressure to buy. High quality chocolate and macadamia nuts.
