MAKE IT A MUST ON YOUR TRIP TO THE BIG ISLAND

  Cute farm with fun animals and yummy samples! We walked around (free self guided tour) and saw lovely gardens with banana and citrus trees, a variety of free roaming ducks... read more and chickens, and then visited the open air gift shop where we were treated to plenty of yummy macadamia nut and cookie samples.

  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!

  I first came across Ka'u local buzz coffee and Paradise Meadows a couple of years ago and decided that this was the best coffee I've ever had. Same... read more for the Mac Nuts. I immediately subscribed to their newsletter so I could keep up to speed on what they where offering.

In a recent trip to Hawaii, we were finally able to visit in person and it was a fun experience. Enthusiastic staff, lots of laughter, delicious fruit slushies, Art Gallery with featured local artists, penny the pig, baby ducks, parrots that would squawk at you until you engaged in conversation.

Premium Kau Coffee, Macnuts, chocolate, short bread, slushies, pizza (on the day we were there)
made by two Italian guys. Yes please!

After we gorged on free samples and margarita pizza, we went on a shopping spree at the well stocked gift shop (not sure if that's the correct term, maybe farmstand?). Since we spent a certain amount on goodies, a discount was given along with free shipping to Alaska (what?!?).

It makes me so happy just knowing that places like this exist.

My only regret about stopping is that because we were in go, go, go mode to get to a birthday party, we didn't spend nearly enough time here as I would've liked. Next time!

  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.
