An authentic, diversified family farm. We specialize in hand-crafted, artisanal, 100% Hawaiian products including macadamia nuts that are dehydrated rather than roasted so they taste more like the fresh macadamia nut right out of the shell, unique varieties of chocolate-covered macadamia nuts, award-winning 100% Ka'u coffee, several varieties of natural Hawaiian honey and buttery Tropical Shortbread cookies. On a visit to the farm you can enjoy free samples of all of our tasty treats, and you can meet the farmers, take a free self-guided tour (including our Aquaponic greenhouse), take a scenic and educational guided tour, and learn about honey, coffee and macadamia nut production. You can also meet our 4 parrots and see a variety of fruits, vegetables and flowers growing in our fields and gardens. We also have clean bathrooms, beach showers, free WiFi, and USB charging stations available for visitors.

We followed the signs to Paradise Meadows on our way back to the highway from South Point, and were very glad we stopped and spent 15 minutes browsing the gift shop, walking the grounds, and checking out some of the animals on display. The annoying duck who kept walking into he open-air shop and had to be shooed out was funny to deal with, as we enjoyed tasting samples of the delicious products. We purchased a couple of bags of the chocolate-coated goodies, said hello to the birds on displays, and dodged raindrops while we walked the grounds a bit to stretch out our legs. Definitely worth the stop if you are driving to or from South Point!

This is one of those experiences only nature can provide. The wind is incredibly strong with trees growing sideways. The waves crashing are wild and beautiful. It can be very very bright there when the sun is out. Hard to describe what it feels like to be there and hard to believe anybody entered such treacherous waters. Will be back!

Ka Lae is towards the end of South Point Road in Naalehu on the Big Island. It is on native land, there is no signage that says Ka Lae. You drive south on South Point Road off Hwy 11, before you see a cardboard sign on the road that says "Green Sand Beach shuttle," there is a black paved road to turn right, you follow the road, and you will see trucks parked along the cliffs where people fish or jump into the ocean. We saw a man catch a good size barracuda. Ka Lae is a must see while you are on the Big Island.
