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.

  • 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!

  • This is a must-see stop on the way to South Point. Admission is free, and you can wander the beautiful grounds filled with lush plants, birds, and an art gallery. Grab 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 happily 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!

  • Small little farm with a quaint, little, not and coffee shop. The employees were engaged, helpful, and very knowledgeable. Full on great experience. Free to walk the small main area you will discover birds, an overly friendly pig looking for belly rubs, a classic International tractor, and a few surprises left by the birds and pig. Take a moment to visit the main house and check out the art for sale. Small paintings all the way up to large, wall filling, Hawaii and other themed beauties. Some pieces range into the thousands in price, but maybe something will speak to you and the price won't be an issue.

  • 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 in after a hike to green sand beach. Very fun and friendly woman offered chocolate, cookie and lemonade tastings. Yummy treats and we were offered use of the shower and a free lemon and avo. Definitely worth a stop!
