Paradise Meadows Orchard & Bee Farm

Welcome to Paradise Meadows Orchard & Bee Farm, home of The Local Buzz 100% Natural Hawaiian Honey and award-winning Ka'u Coffee. Paradise Meadows occupies 75 idyllic acres in the South Point 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. On our farm you'll find a bit more than 20 acres of lime, lemon and avocado orchard which we've rescued from the rainforest over the past 6 years. And you'll also find a range of agricultural "experiments" that provide a truly diversified agricultural environment and endless opportunities and challenges. If you visit the farm you'll see an aquaponics greenhouse -- a truly sustainable ecosystem -- where we grow lots of leafy greens (lettuce, herbs, spinach, kale, bok choy, etc.), and where we give our other fruiting plants (like tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, eggplant, beans, etc.) a great start in life before we transplant them into organically fertilized soil. You'll see a small herd of grazing cattle that help keep the rainforest at bay by eating the nutritious vines and grass. You might get a look at our two horses (Mocha & Kai) who roam free on the farm. You almost certainly will be greeted by Chandra & Moe, our two wonderful dogs, and by our 5 parrots (4 of whom are rescues).
