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.

I'm so delighted with my experience at Pleasant Meadows. The woman assisting us with our coffee, honey & macadamia nut tasting was a joy! We ended up ordering a shipment... read more of all 3!
The scenery is beautiful, lined with coffee, fruit and nut trees. Animals are able to free range outside of their pens, and don't mind the people walking around.
Seeing the beginning of the coffee peas in bloom was so fascinating. I would definitely visit again.

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.

Another gem we stumbled upon by accident. We were looking for coffee and Yelp made us come here :). This is a farm, with lots of wild animals. We got... read more there 15 mins before they close but they were so kind to not kick us out. We got some delicious coffee and macadamia nuts. The ambiance of the farm is calm and inviting. 100% recommend this place. They also have a taco truck and apparently run out within few hours of opening on most days; great place to stop by on your way to/from South Point.

My wife and I stopped here on a whim on our way to South Point. So glad we did! We are from Michigan and Paradise reminded us of Cherry Republic back home. You can taste all the different Mac nuts, cookies, chocolate, coffee, etc. The demo staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We also enjoyed walking around the property to see the parrots, ducks, and farms. Definitely recommend for families and those looking to have a nice little memory of their time on the big island. We ended up getting several different food items as well.

I absolutely loved this place, the vibe here is right. You come into a jungle ish parking lot with a chocolate and coffee bean shop. The whole farm is in the jungle and there are very funny parrots and ducks walking around, so adorable. We were also greeted with some kind employees and especially the parrots were very entertaining!

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.
