Our fruitista explained each fruit sample and I honestly dont remember the names. The fruit is locally grown. The fruit was fresh and delicious. My boyfriend is from Minnesota and he really enjoyed the fruit tasting. It was a unique experience for him. He said it was worth the price to try something new. They also offer fresh coconut water for $10, but we didn't get one. The stand had a gorgeous view of green lush hills in contrast to the blue ocean. Lots of tables to sit. They had WiFi and a port a potty available. There was a compost bin and a water station to wash up. I paid with Venmo, but there were other forms of payment. Very convenient. Our fruitista was hard at work as the one person running the stand. He was very friendly and took great care selecting the fruit for our platter. Stop by for a fresh and healthy snack and take in the amazing views!

The honey vendor has some free samples. We got some fresh fruit. They had lilikoi so I had to get some. We also got a guava to try. The fruit was good, but it was very expensive. When we were on Maui, there were tons of roadside fruit stands and this is definitely the cheaper way to buy fruit. We didn't see any of these on the big island though.

Thousands of acres throughout, the number of farms reaching far beyond the hundreds. Some are managed by large corporations while smaller crops are run by family-owned businesses. Like this one, located on the Big Island of Hawai'i. Āhualoa Family Farms. Where you won't find just one farm associated with this local small business, because their macadamia nuts and coffee are harvested in multiple locations on the Hāmākua Coast. Born and raised on the Big Island of Hawai'i, I'm familiar with how vast this area can encompass. A beautiful, scenic 40+ mile coastline stretch with high cliffs, it was the way to Waimea, Waikōloa and Kona while growing up. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ I've garnered a high appreciation for Hawaiian macadamia nuts after my high school band fundraiser required us to harvest them by hand. It's a product I gravitate towards in our local grocery stores, a menu item I'll order if featured as an ingredient. I'll make a point to visit their vendor table at community events. That's how I found Āhualoa Family Farms. First in 2025 at the 32nd annual Hawai'i Arts, Crafts & Food Festival at Nani Mau Gardens. Then in 2026 at the same location during the Merrie Monarch Festival once again. Also at the 2026 official Merrie Monarch Invitational Hawaiian Arts & Craft Fair. Products visually presented lured me towards this vendor, the featured item had a stronger grasp on me. 100% Hawaiian macadamia nuts. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "SEA SALT - Roasted Macadamia Nuts" An indulgent crunch, each nut with roasted richness. I found the flavor profile simple with a light dusting of fine sea salt. Enough to enhance without overshadowing the butteriness of each Hawaii-grown macadamia nut morsel. It was so divine, I actually returned two days later to purchase more. The freshness of the nuts harvested in small amounts, then roasted in macadamia nut oil makes all the difference in taste and texture. "COFFEE LIQUEUR - Roasted Macadamia Nuts" With eight options to choose from, this one caught my eye. Caramelized crunchy exterior with a buttery center. Their unique macadamia nut flavor and texture is ever so present, as coffee and chocolate notes come through in a subtle way. From Āhualoa Family Farms Hāmākua dark roast coffee, Kahlùa liqueur and natural sugar cane. Harmonious. It made a perfect dessert treat on many nights for me. "MAC BUTTER - Honey Macadamia Nut Spread" A quick stir after opening, the result, decadent and creamy, smooth with a slight thickness. Finely ground Hawaiian macadamia nuts are found in each bite when placed on crackers or toast. A must try like I did, a spoonful just solo. Delicate sweetness from honey brings forward toffee-like aftertones. Luxurious. "VINAIGRETTE - Lemon Macadamia Nut" Balanced, blended and emulsified. A sharp citrus tang, I appreciated the flavor equilibrium of all elements showcased. Versatile as a dressing or marinade, I've only enjoyed this creamy, nutty and bright vinaigrette on my salads. A gourmet upgrade from olive oil, an indulgent taste featuring macadamia nuts from their Hāmākua farms on the Big Island of Hawai'i. A unique stand-out vs supermarket bought dressings. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Their ability to roast macadamia nuts in small batches gives Āhualoa Family Farms an advantage over larger corporations in Hawai'i who mass produce their macadamia nut products. The flavor profile of each nut, every unique item sold is crafted with care and precision. It shows in their packaging, more so, in the taste and texture alone. There's no comparison, exceptional freshness and quality. Āhualoa Family Farms. Tempting items, deliciously crafted. I hope to find them at future community events as a vendor. A visit to their main showroom in Honoka'a is already on my list. Taste the difference, proudly serving 100% Hawaiian macadamia nuts and Hāmākua-grown coffee.

He built his cacao farm from the bottom up and it was amazing to witness his progress ever since 2017. He walked us through the seed germination process, the growing process, the fermentation process and everything before, in between and after that.. from seed all the way to chocolate bar. This tour is meant to expand your knowledge and change your perspective on how you think about, taste, and experience chocolate. At the end of the farm tour, you drive down to the gift shop (about a 3 min drive from the farm) to make any potential purchases as well as taste even more chocolate! What an amazing and unique experience in Honaka'a and 100% recommend adding this tour to your Big Island itinerary. P.S. my favorite chocolate bar is the barrel aged bourbon bar!! Notes of dark cherry with a bourbon finish :)

When we finally decided to move here, this coffee soon became our daily drinker. It makes a wonderful pour over in a Chemex. We place an order more or less monthly and delivery via mail is always prompt. The beans are always freshly roasted as evidenced by the noticeable effervescence (bloomimg) as the entrapped carbon dioxide gas bubbles off during the pour over. The coffee trees are raised organically and grow under a canopy of Koa trees to keep them shaded and to produce an environment that sustains Hawaiian wildlife. Strongly recommended,
