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 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 20 acres of the best coffee you've ever tasted. We also, as our name would suggest, have beehives. You won't see them on your visit unless you make special arrangements with us in advance because they reside on the back of our property, but 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 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 (lettuce, herbs, spinach, kale, bok choy, etc.), and where we give our other fruiting plants (like tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, eggplant, beans, etc.) a great start in life before we transplant them into organically fertilized soil. And you'll undoubtedly see our growing 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 our horse, Kai, who roams free on the farm, our sheep Shirley and miniature goat (Matilda). And you may get a glimpse of our greeter kitty Pico.
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, ask to see the originals which cover 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.

My favorite coffee tasting spot. They had honey samples, cookie samples, and chocolate samples along with the coffee. It was all very tasty, and the people here were so fun... read more and sweet and knowledgeable, they made us feel like we were part of the family. Loved, loved, loved!

We had such a great time at Paradise Meadows! We took a tour of the farm and got to see the crop fields, the coffee and macadamia nut processors, and (best of all) got to get up close with the bee hives! Our tour guide was very informative and friendly. When we saw the bee hives, he let us get up close while at the same time clearly explaining safety protocols. We also bought some macadamia nuts and chocolates and they were *amazing*. The cinnamon bun crunch in particular were probably the best nuts we’ve ever had! Could not recommend more!

This place is great! While we were looking up and trying to research the cliff jumping at South Point (Ka Lae) a reviewer mentioned something about this farm. I noted... read more it and went on researching the cliffs. On our way to the cliffs a few days later my husband said something about stopping at this farm again and that I had sounded very interested in it. So I tried to find it, but couldn’t! I could no longer find the review on it. I was so upset. But once we got closer to the road the needed to turn on to get to the cliffs we started seeing signs for this farm! My heart soared.
We turned in and I immediately fell in love with the place. It was so open, airy and inviting. We walked up and were met by a wonderful gal named Racine. She knew EVERYTHING about the farm. She introduced us to their honey’s, letting us sample all of them and giving brief descriptions on each. Honey tasting was followed by coffee tasting which was where I fell even MORE in love with this place. I was informed that due to the elevation and the soil that they use (as opposed to the lava rocks that Kona uses) they get a much smoother cup of coffee. Which, as the heavy cold brew drinker that I am, was like music to my ears. I’m not a acidic coffee lover. Kona coffee was killing me due to the harsh bite it had. But this coffee was fabulous! Even the hot coffee was smooth! I died.
We them moved on to macadamia nut tasting. They have SO MANY flavors here! And are not stingy with the tastings at all! The cinnamon one was amazing! We got a small one and ate it on the way home later that day haha. I love that they dehydrate their nuts instead of roasting them. It’s a much creamier nut!
They even have chocolate covered Mac nuts here! Omg and the most delicious shortbread cookies!
Along with all the amazing tastings Racine was awesome with explaining everything about the farm and the food processing. She was so patient with us and our questions and she had the shots delightful smile the whole time! You could tell she really loved her job. And omg who wouldn’t?! The food here seriously speaks for itself!
We bought a ton of stuff! We were going to do a tour around the farm (I’d highly recommend calling first to set up an appointment) but we were on a strict time limit as it was our last day and we were trying to hit up all of our last minute spots on the island.
I’m home now and have basically eaten everything we bought already. Ha! And I already went on their website and bought more. I’m letting all of my coworkers try everything!
Can’t wait to come back here next time we hit up the Big Island and really sit and enjoy this place. HIGHLY recommended!

This folks is well worth the visit. We stopped to use the Rest room and enjoyed our visit so much with Leonard (“the Irish Hawaiian”) we wanted to tell everyone... read more about the place. He has great Macadamia nuts with a variety of flavours. And a great mix of dark and milk chocolate covered nuts. His coffee is an award winning taste that is very good. Take the time folks and stop it will be worth it. Leonard is an incredible host and has stories that will amaze you. Thank you Leonard for our visit.

I stopped here while driving home from the green sand beach. I saw the signs and decided to stop in. The 2 ladies working were wonderful and welcoming. ... read more They allowed us to sample many things and were more than happy to help us . We bought a little of everything , some of which will be gifts to bring home.
The stand has local honey, macadamia nuts, coffee, and chocolate. You are welcome to sample anything .
The grounds are beautiful and you are welcome to take a stroll around through gardens or to see the animals on the property .
It's a little more than a stop, its an experience .
Highly recommended !

A really neat farm with great macadamia nuts. We showed up and were greated with big smiles, cute kittens, lots of stsamples and really neat birds. Neat grounds, super pleasant... read more people and delicious nuts and chocolate barks. Worth the small detour!

A little off the beaten path but worth the detour. Turn down the ironwood tree lined driveway and park near the tasting tent. Coffee, mac nuts and honey. Lots of... read more flavors and sizes, and they offer free shipping on orders over $100. We liked the small tour of the property, trees and animals. The parrot greeting us with good morning really caught us by surprise.
The shortbread cookies were great.
