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 detour on our way back from the black sand beaches. Local grown coffee. Free samples of shortbread, coffee, chocolate, honey, and Macadamia nuts. Small self guided tour of part of the farm that is really cute and fun to do on your own. Tour is free but they take donations. A few cute little animals to see like parrots, ducks, and Penny the pig. Lots of blooming tropical plants in the herb garden you can walk through. They also have a food truck. Make the detour here!

  • 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!

  • This place is a GEM! I’m so happy we found it while heading to South Point. So many samples of macadamia nuts, cookies and coffee that you really know what you want to buy! An added perk is if you spend over a certain amount, they ship it to you for free. We just got back to NJ and it was awesome to have it waiting at our doorstep. The peaberry coffee is SO good! The coffee macadamia bark was amazing too! Our kids enjoyed looking at the animals and the little art gallery was cute too. Totally worth a stop!

  • Stopped at Paradise Meadows and found a relaxing and refreshing place. There are many samples of coffee, macadamia nuts, and chocolates and more. Everyone who works there is very friendly and helpful. They also offer food that is made fresh. Nice picnic tables to eat at and look at the birds, ducks and other animals. Definitely worth a stop, they share the Aloha feelings with the guests.

  • This was by far the most amazing place on the island! They offered free samples of their macadamia nuts, chocolates and cookies! Then we ate at the food truck! Amazing tacos! If that’s not enough they have a local artist that is amazing ❤️. So we bought a little bit of everything 🥰 Thank you for making this experience so much fun!! YOU MUST VISIT!!
