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.

Absolutely wonderful place right off the highway. Stopped here on our way to see the volcano which had, unfortunately, stopped erupting the day before. Picked up some tasty... read more macadamias and other goodies, and some artwork. Super friendly staff, recommended.

Stopped by this place before going to south point. I'm not sure what I was expecting coming here, but ended up doing a self guided tour of the place. We... read more saw all the fruit trees, how people on the island recycle water, and found out where our local king duck species originated from. They offered us nuts and chocolate. We ended up purchasing a bag of their garlic Parmesan nuts. Call me nuts for some nuts, but those nuts tasted, nuts. Their mango slushy was yummy too. There is also a food truck that was serving freshly caught fish from what I'm assuming was south point. I didn't end up buying anything though. There's also a local art shop there. I understand that they make money from tourists and people value art at what they think art is worth, but I'm not in a position to purchase a $2000 oil pastel painting. Not shaming on the art or the talent, it's just not something I would ever consider. Also those parrots can outlive a human, that's pretty intense.

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.

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.

Had a wonderful at the farm! The staff was absolutely awesome! So very nice and informative, the tastings were very very generous, and the coffee/honey/macadamia nuts were delicious. Nice short self guided tour around the farm to see some of their animals, fruit trees, bananas, herb garden. Would absolutely recommend a quick stop!

So happy we found this place! Everyone is so welcoming and the whole place is clean and felt so homey. They offer samples of coffee, chocolate, and macadamia nuts. I thought I didn't like macadamia nuts. . . I was soooo wrong!! Every single one I tasted I loved. Left with bags of them and will definitely be ordering from them and having them shipped to the mainland. We loved the gardens and especially the birds ♡. We didn't get a chance to see Penny the pig but this visit was amazing!

What a fun, delightful place to visit! You can wander around the farm, see a variety of sustainable farming practices and rescued animals, then end at the shop with generous samples of macadamia nuts, honey, shortbread, and coffee. It’s all delicious, and they have great bundle deals as well! Julie was so funny and welcoming—wherever you’re staying on Hawaii, Paradise Meadows is a must!

Happen to stumble into this place. It's very quaint. Megan the artist has some great artwork for sale. The animals, especially the parrots, were nice to see... And of course. Penny the wild pig (if she's still there). The shop has some great products, coffee and nut tasting. I was offered slushie samples since I don't do coffee or nuts. The staff was very friendly and informative!

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.

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.
