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.

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.

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.

What a fantastic venue! We took the behind the scenes private tour with Jared and it was absolutely amazing! He is extremely knowledgeable about the property and the day to... read more day happenings. He is also the coffee roast "master" and their coffee is some of the best I've had on the Big Island. Every time we have visitors come from the mainland, this will definitely be on the top of our list to take them there. They have a food truck on property that has some delicious food and on Fridays and Saturdays you have to go check out the pizza!! You'll be amazed.
Enjoy this wonderful place!Michael W.

Had so much fun visiting the farm. We popped in because it came up when we searched for chocolate, but it offers so much more! There are over two dozen (maybe 3 dozen?) samples - more than Costco! Everything is delicious, you'll kick yourself for not buying more! Shortbread cookies, mac nuts, chocolate, coffee, honey, and art! Plus they have a really friendly pig Penny, parrots, and lots of other cool wildlife - most adopted. They roast their coffee on site, and their owner Lili is very warm and welcoming, as are the great staff! We got to chat with her as they were closing about the history of the farm, roasting, the animals, and more! Highly recommend!

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.

We were pulled in by the signs and were very happy that we stopped. Lots of samples to try out. The macadamias are dehydrated not roasted making them super crunchy. The flavored nuts were not over done...just right! Great place to stop after going to green sands beach!

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.
