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.

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.Lila P.

Lovely little farm! Reminds me of how I want my farm to be in Missouri. Self guided tour, they provide a little map and view the farm. The staff was... read more amazing and very knowledgeable. You also get the chance to try various items they offer (honey, coffee, and macadamia products).
All the different types of macadamia products was mind blowing.Emily C.

Truthfully, even though I've given 5 stars, I wouldn't plan anything around this place. However, it's worth the stop if you're driving from Kona to the Green Sands Beach! While... read more we were driving, my husband said he would love if we could stop for coffee. I missed a couple of farm stand looking places and then we both got very excited when we saw the signs for Paradise Meadows! I screeched out little Mini Cooper rental right off the road! It was a lovely place to stop.
They have bathrooms, a little art gallery, animals/birds, an avocado orchard, an "herb stroll," and a precious store with the most amazing Macadamia nuts, coffee, and honey! The staff was extremely knowledgeable and gave us samples of nuts, chocolate, and coffee (she gave us so many samples I was literally stuffed). We bought several bags of those and the coconut honey! Small bags were $6 and if you bought so many, you got one free.
This would be a great place to grab gifts for people and tell them it's from a place near the southernmost tip of the United States!Lauren B.

What a MAGICAL experience tasting delicious macadamia nuts, coffee, chocolates & honey in a lovely setting, with such a welcoming host! Truly a slice of paradise 🙂 Perfect stop to try the tastings, explore the farm & cute herb trail with their helpful map, and use the restroom. We left very happy, having purchased yummy gifts for our friends (and snacks for ourselves too 🙂

Fun and informative tour with the owner of the orchard. You'll see the orchard, coffee fields, and a lot of equipment used at different stages of coffee processing. The place is interesting to visit and you get to see a real operating coffee business, and not just a fake area for tourists to visit.

Last chance to go. Gracious people. So gracious they responded to my review. This is an edit... Last chance to go to the bathroom in a nice place with gracious people. They're eco conscious too. They use the husks from macadamia nuts they harvest to pave their roadway. 11 points to every review that tells us another eco friendly action taken at Paradise Meadows!

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!

Stopped on the way to South Point and was so surprised by the extent of offerings at the farm! Coffee, chocolate, Mac nut, shortbread, and honey tastings in their little... read more shop that are for sale as well as local artist prints.

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.
