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.

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Nice stop for a bathroom break, samples, and more!
We were on our way to Ka Lae (South Point) and were starting to feel the need for... read more a break when we happened to see their sign along the road. It turned out to be a very nice stop--definitely more than just a restroom break. We sampled their coffee and various macadamia nut/chocolate combos (bought some nuts), walked the pleasant grounds and viewed their flora and fauna, and of course, made use of their facilities, taking care not to let their house cats out (did not actually see any cats, darn). They also had a lot of art in the main house where the bathrooms were. A lot more to see than we were expecting, with a pleasant, courteous staff--worth the stop.

It was paradise here. We just drove by and happened to see a sign so we stopped by. And I glad we did because we got to sample so many... read more chocolates and nuts. Ended up with a sugar smrush because of it. We also got to sample the smoothie before we bought it. Everyone was so friendly!
Onsite was a pizza spot and tables to sit at. There were animals to view too as you wait for the pizza to be cooked.
Ended the experience with $6 small bags of chocolate and $7 smoothie. Would come back to.

This is a must-see stop on the way to South Point. Admission is free, and you can wander the grounds filled with lush plants, birds, and an art gallery. Grab... read more a bite from the food truck or enjoy the samples in the store. The macadamia nuts are absolutely addictive, and the thoughtfully crafted honey is just as incredible.
We left a generous tip for our sample guru and went home with bags of macadamia nuts and a variety of honey. Everyone was so friendly and knowledgeable, and I loved learning how the honey develops its unique flavors. Best of all, it feels great to support local farmers!

Absolutely a must-visit, on the Big Island!! The people at the store were super friendly and very quick to hand out samples of coffee, Mac nuts, and their other treats.... read more I loved their dark roast coffee, nice and strong but still smooth. And the macadamia nuts...honestly, I didn't think their flavor could be improved on; but wow, the flavored varieties!! They still taste like Mac nuts, but with yummy flavor accents like vanilla or garlic. Yum! We bought all our gifts for the folks back home at Paradise Meadows, b/c they ship free with $125+ purchase.
Finally, as someone who volunteers at an exotic bird rescue/sanctuary back home, I appreciate that they gave several parrots a good, permanent home. Really enjoyed our visit!

What a fun, delightful place to visit! You can wander around the farm, see a variety of sustainable farming practices and rescued animals, then end at the shop with generous samples of macadamia nuts, honey, shortbread, and coffee. It’s all delicious, and they have great bundle deals as well! Julie was so funny and welcoming—wherever you’re staying on Hawaii, Paradise Meadows is a must!

Had a wonderful at the farm! The staff was absolutely awesome! So very nice and informative, the tastings were very very generous, and the coffee/honey/macadamia nuts were delicious. Nice short self guided tour around the farm to see some of their animals, fruit trees, bananas, herb garden. Would absolutely recommend a quick stop!

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!

Delicious STOP! - We have stopped on the way to the Southern-most-point of the island and had a blast - you get to try some coffee, delicious honey (took 3 with us!) and... read more some amazing macadamia nuts (got plenty with us!) - all of this is free to try and you can walk around and check out some of the trees/plants/animals. It's a very pleasant stop!
They do their nuts differently by dehydrating them - they have more crunch than usual nuts and flavor is a bit different - I absolutely loved them and preferred them over any other nuts on the island, my wife did not care for the flavor so it's a unique experience.
What I can emphasize though is that the Sweet and Smokey flavor is to die for!!! I got 2 packs of it and I am actually tempted to order it again but this time online - definitely a must stop while in the area!
They prefer CASH but do accept CREDIT CARDS

Nice stop just off hwy 11 - We enjoyed our stop here after visiting the green sand beach. We sampled and then bought macadamia nuts and coffee, and had tasty tacos from the food truck. ... read more We wandered the grounds a bit, we were there about an hour. Pleasant stop!

Come for Coffee samples -- stay for lunch!! Nice low-key ambience near Green Sands Beach - We were drawn to this place by the offer of free samples of macadamia nuts and coffee and ended up staying for lunch at Ama's food truck. Great... read more fresh tasting food harvested locally (the cook husband catches the fish) , had the fish tacos and split a fish burrito. Very filling, homemade meal. Did the tour and saw the local animals (Including Penny the pig) then came back from samples and bought some bags of nuts to take home. They even have a shower to rinse off the sand after the beach (we stopped on way back from Green Sands Beach)
There is a low-key friendly (not fancy) ambience and the staff are nice. A hidden treasure just a mile off the Hawaiian Belt Road (#11)
