This place is GEM!We are so glad we decided to stop! We got several free samples, and they have the BEST macadamia nuts and chocolate. The farm was so fun to explore.

This is a quaint "open air" goodie shop on a beautiful tree lined property. Raccine and Donna greeted me warmly and lavished me with aloha and lots of free samples! I highly recommend the "dark chocolate vanilla crunch" covered mac nuts! Also, the "cinnamon bun crunch" mac nuts taste just like Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal! I got a 12 oz "fancy medium roast" coffee that was quite possibly the best coffee I have ever tasted. It was like a melody in my mouth with each sip! They also sell honey and cookies which were extremely delicious. There is also a food truck right there that unfortunately was closed at the time of my visit. After you do your shopping be sure to say hello to the beautiful birds and ducks going splish splash in their little bathtubs. They are quite entertaining!

We are so extatic that we made the stop. Great experience, very welcoming. Jules took great care of us. She explained all the details about all the yummy samples we tried. Let's start by saying, "I'm not a macadamia nut fan, never have been. I am now a true fan. They do something different with theirs, and it's delicious. We also tried the local honey samples, chocolate covered crushed coffee beans & shortbread. Again, you will not be disappointed.

Amazing place! Free to enter, and cute gift shop, and a food truck! Didn’t get to see Penny (the pig), but saw many other amazing animals! There are restrooms available!

CUTE little detour on our way back from the black sand beaches. Local grown coffee. Free samples of shortbread, coffee, chocolate, honey, and Macadamia nuts. Small self guided tour of part of the farm that is really cute and fun to do on your own. Tour is free but they take donations. A few cute little animals to see like parrots, ducks, and Penny the pig. Lots of blooming tropical plants in the herb garden you can walk through. They also have a food truck. Make the detour here!

We come here every trip and talk to the parrots. Oh and we love all the honey and chocolates. Great spot to chill after the South Point trail and Green Sand Beach walk.

This is a must see stop if you are looking for the BEST macadamia (mac) nuts on the big island! Great selection of coffees, cookies, and honey from the farm. Ask for for a mac nut and honey tasting... its free and helps you decide which items you want to purchase. Super helpful and friendly staff. An added bonus is the owner is an amazing artist and prints of her paintings are available for sale at an extremely low price... we bought four and she even signed them. A must stop, you will not be disappointed. Highly recommend!

We stopped in to check out this lush location and their free samples. Man we were surprised! They've made this into a beautiful little tourist stop with plenty to see on the property, as well as enjoy coffee, slushies, and macadamia nuts. The nuts were the best we tried on the island. Worth the stop, and definitely worth taking home a few goodies too. Staff was so friendly and helpful!

This place is a GEM! I’m so happy we found it while heading to South Point. So many samples of macadamia nuts, cookies and coffee that you really know what you want to buy! An added perk is if you spend over a certain amount, they ship it to you for free. We just got back to NJ and it was awesome to have it waiting at our doorstep. The peaberry coffee is SO good! The coffee macadamia bark was amazing too! Our kids enjoyed looking at the animals and the little art gallery was cute too. Totally worth a stop!

I was in Hawaii for 2 months this past winter, and I went to Paradise Meadows more times than I can count! Every time I had company in town, this was my go-to place! They do not skimp on their macadamia nut samples, which was so fun! They probably give you 20ish different flavors to try (sweet and savory)! They also have honey and coffee tastings. I had a blast exploring the small farm and art gallery. I met Penny the Pig, and we bounded. Great place to buy souvenirs to take home to family and friends! The customer service as also TOP NOTCH. I probably met almost everyone on their staff during the course of my trip, and they were stellar women - friendly, fun, and full of island recommendations! Seriously, excellent team and wonderful, yummy goodies!

We stopped here after visiting South Point. This was definitely a highlight of our trip! Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. There’s an abundance of free samples (coffee and macadamia nuts) and the prices are great! We stocked up on gifts.We were on a tight schedule and didn’t have the time to tour the farm. We wish we had more time there!

Stopped for the food truck (which was delicious) and was surprised to discover the market and the free guided tastings of their macadamian nuts, cookies, honey and coffee. Just a little off the main road and definitely worth the visit. Everything was fresh, delicious and seemed reasonably priced. It's also great to directly support their farm.

Super cute farm and very thorough sampling. Julie is so so nice and we really enjoyed our time talking to her. There is a free self-guided tour around the farm where you can get up close to what’s happening here. The bathrooms are very clean and there is even a shower to rinse off if you’d like. Megan’s spectacular artwork is scattered all throughout the farm and there are a variety of different options from prints to hand touched canvases. Highly recommend stopping here! If you get hungry there is a little food truck where you can grab a bite to eat. We got the fish and chips and the fish was great.

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!

Don't tell anyone but as much as I love Big Island Candies I think the pineapple mac shortbread here maybe better. Gasp! Amazing lehua and kiawe honey as well! They are happy to give you samples but please wait for them to give it to you. They also ship so nice way to be reminded of the islands when you get back. We did not go look at the other parts of the farm as we were there for lunch at Ama's Kitchen but they were closed. We went up to the intersection of S. Point Road and Mamalahoa Hwy to Big Dog Hit Dogs after hearing the girls at Paradise Meadow talk about it. See my review on that. Both are absolutely worth the drive!

Small little farm with a quaint, little, not and coffee shop. The employees were engaged, helpful, and very knowledgeable. Full on great experience.Free to walk the small main area you will discover birds, an overly friendly pig looking for belly rubs, a classic International tractor, and a few surprises left by the birds and pig.Take a moment to visit the main house and check out the art for sale. Small paintings all the way up to large, wall filling, Hawaii and other themed beauties. Some pieces range into the thousands in price, but maybe something will speak to you and the price won't be an issue.

We really enjoyed this little detour when driving around the island. The shop had really generous samples of all their macadamia nut products (lots with chocolate, yum!). The food truck was fantastic, we had the tacos (chicken & monchong) and dragon fruit lemonade.

As a tour guide on the Big Island of Hawai'i, I have been fortunate to take multiple tours here and they don't disappoint. Samples, quality products and affordable prices! A must see while you're here on the island.

A great stop along the way back from South Point! It was awesome getting to check out parts of the farm and the staff was super friendly. Shannon hooked us up with samples of nuts, chocolate, and shortbread. One of my favorite stops on our trip!

Their dried macadamia nuts are fabulous. We got to try them first. We brought home many bags and will be sad when they are gone!

Friendly people, lots of flavors of Mac nuts and chocolates. Coffee is good and reasonably priced for Big Island coffee. Got a 5lb bag of coffee beans shipped home to the mainland for free 🙂

This was an exceptionally unexpected stop on our way to South Point. Coffee was great! Abundant samples from the friendly staff encouraged purchases of cookies and chocolate covered macadamia nuts that we now will be adding to our stock with an online order. Delicious! We enjoyed the self guided walking tour of their 'farm' before heading down the road. A must stop if you are in the area. :)

Oh my gosh. I didn't have this on my plan but I was heading to southpoint and saw the signs of free tastings on the way. I'm glad I stopped by. Staff was friendly, they had great products which I did buy and a little tour of the farm to do that was free. My kid had fun and so did I.

Fun stop to stretch the legs and get a slushy. We purchased macadamia nuts for friends and family here. Reasonably priced and you get to sample everything!

Great little spot to sample and buy local honey, mac nuts, coffee, and chocolate! The best Mac nuts we have ever had on the island, and we also took home some wonderful chocolates and honey, too!

What a great find! We were headed back from the beach and just needed a restroom, but this place was so perfect. They have some of the best shortbread cookies I’ve ever tasted and some really great coffee & honey. The chocolate was pretty great too. They have a self guided tour to see a small portion of their farm and their fruit trees & garden. The people were super friendly too!!

This is amazing!!!! They had the best chocolate and macadamia nuts around and I definitely recommend coming here! They gave us a lot of free samples and it was awesome! They also had great coffee and everyone is very nice! I bought some chocolate macadamia nuts, a slushy, and they had a great art show so I also got a picture and a few other things. :)
