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.

Cute little stop on the way around south point
We didn't try the food truck
But we did do the farm tour, which takes 5-10 minutes and we viewed... read more the art gallery.
They have friendly and attentive staff
It's a great place to stop for 15-30 minutes to stretch your legs

People were not joking with this five star reviews, this is definitely a must stop on your way to the green sand beach or if you are in the area,... read more Shannon helped us in their shop and oh boy did she treat us with so many goodies! I went planning on getting coffee and cookies and walked out with bags of assorted cookies and chocolate bark. We will be back for the tour and the food at amas maybe later today since we had an appointment to get to but didn't want to forget to leave a review

Stopped by this place before going to south point. I'm not sure what I was expecting coming here, but ended up doing a self guided tour of the place. We... read more saw all the fruit trees, how people on the island recycle water, and found out where our local king duck species originated from. They offered us nuts and chocolate. We ended up purchasing a bag of their garlic Parmesan nuts. Call me nuts for some nuts, but those nuts tasted, nuts. Their mango slushy was yummy too. There is also a food truck that was serving freshly caught fish from what I'm assuming was south point. I didn't end up buying anything though. There's also a local art shop there. I understand that they make money from tourists and people value art at what they think art is worth, but I'm not in a position to purchase a $2000 oil pastel painting. Not shaming on the art or the talent, it's just not something I would ever consider. Also those parrots can outlive a human, that's pretty intense.

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.

Had so much fun visiting the farm. We popped in because it came up when we searched for chocolate, but it offers so much more! There are over two dozen (maybe 3 dozen?) samples - more than Costco! Everything is delicious, you'll kick yourself for not buying more! Shortbread cookies, mac nuts, chocolate, coffee, honey, and art! Plus they have a really friendly pig Penny, parrots, and lots of other cool wildlife - most adopted. They roast their coffee on site, and their owner Lili is very warm and welcoming, as are the great staff! We got to chat with her as they were closing about the history of the farm, roasting, the animals, and more! Highly recommend!

We stopped here after visiting South Point. This was definitely a highlight of our trip! Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. There’s an abundance of free samples (coffee and macadamia nuts) and the prices are great! We stocked up on gifts. We were on a tight schedule and didn’t have the time to tour the farm. We wish we had more time there!

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.
