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.

This place is a must stop if you're driving by. The coffee is good, the max nuts are great but the cookies are amazing - seriously you need the mango... read more macadamia cookies. The best part of all is how nice everyone is, nicest ladies on the island.

My favorite was the Peabody medium roast, it was delicious with no added cream etc. I could drink... read more it black and I don't usually like black coffee. The price was high ($62 for a pound) so I didn't purchase it and I'm really regretting it!!! I wish I bought it while I was there! I'm definitely going back.

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.

This place is fantastic a great place to walk around check out their parents and to farm operations. The owners and all the staff are very friendly and are more than willing to talk to you about any of the goings on on the farm. You can do taste testing of cookies macadamia nuts and a variety of other coffees. It is some of the best roasted and grown coffee in the south of the island and if you buy anything you can get free shipping to the mainland.

We absolutely LOVED our time at Paradise Meadows! The staff was so knowledgeable and interesting! I had no idea the owner was a Cordon Bleu trained chef! No wonder everything was so delicious! They were so generous with the samples - helping us find just the right treats and shipping them home for us! We loved wandering around this little farm, learning all about the different processes and asking questions. We will definitely be re-ordering our favorites! #letsguide

A fun and unique roadside experience on your way two or from the south point! We came for the chocolate samples but enjoyed trying the Mac nuts and coffee and buiscits as well. We also liked seeing the animals and art on the farm. Nice llave to get locally made food gifts for people back home

Lovely small farm with free tasting and tours. Very low key and informative. The guides were around to answer questions and show us around the beautiful herb garden. Lots of banana trees, coffee trees and avocado trees. And they use aquaponics and you can learn all about the benefits of that kind of farming!

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.
