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.

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.

On our way back from the furthest southern point in the United States (on the Big Island), we stopped at Paradise Meadows for some Macadamia nuts. We found the staff... read more were more than willing to offer samples. We walked out with 4 different varieties of Macadamia nuts. All delicious. The owners farm most of their properties with coffee & Macadamia nuts.. We sampled their coffee, and it was SO good, we took some back for tomorrow morning's breakfast.

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!

This amazing place includes an ono food truck, clean restrooms, an art gallery, and of course a market selling the BEST chocolate, coffee and macadamia nuts on the island! If you don't believe me, stop here and get some free samples and taste for yourself! There is plenty of free, shady parking and adorable ducks wandering around this charming, park-like setting. A visit here will be the highlight of your vacation or your day for kama'aina!

Found this little gem on the way to the southern most point of the states and so happy we did!! She gave us about 7 or 10 different nuts and chocolates to try- almost a whole dinner! They were all absolutely amazing and they do deals if you buy more than one, so of course we had to leave with 3 flavors! They had cool birds and ducks and the little gallery had a cute kitty! They were super friendly and im so happy we got to stop here! We didn't get to try the honey but I'm sure it was great! Highly reccomend for a little snack or just at least a little fun thing to get out and do and look at on your drive to wherever! Mahalo to all the nice people there!

We always make a point of stopping by here and picking up a few goodies to take back home when we come to Hawaii. The staff are all very friendly and they give out samples of all their delicious Mac nuts, chocolates, and coffee. The art work they sell here is so beautiful as well. Such a fun place to visit with the kids. A hui hou.

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

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)
