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.

  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!

  Best! Mac! Nut! Great coffee! Cute causal farm stand. Great prices. Nicest staff. Lots of free samples! Honey, coffee, and Mac nuts. Art gallery! Food truck! Tacos... read more and Pizza! Penny the Pig!

  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.

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