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 - 4 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.

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.

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!

I truly thing this place is amazing and should be on your list as a stop as you explore the Big Island
It's the only place that we found ... read more clean bathrooms. Not just one but 4 of them with in a beautiful art gallery filled with art by the Resident / Owner and Artist
They have the most amazing macadamia nuts and cookies we have found on the Island.
They literally have you try and sample everything they have
COFFEE
HONEY
SHORTBREAD COOKIES
&
Macadamia nuts
Salted and in some of the most amazing flavors as well as delicious chocolates.....
The property is beyond peaceful and tranquil and is educational.
There was a pizza vendor and he is from Italy..... we tried 2 of the pizzas and it's the best we have eaten in a very long time.
The staff is inviting and friendly and go out of their way to have you try their delicious goodies.
MAKE IT A MUST ON YOUR TRIP TO THE BIG ISLAND

This is our favorite farm to bring friends to. The people are friendly, you get to sample coffee and nuts and chocolate, nice shop, plus a fun map of the property. You can go learn that bananas are herbs! And don't miss the beautiful herb stroll! (I think it needs a little better name though.)

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!

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)
