The verdict

Field notes

Visitor classic Bustling Tourists

A charming, rustic roadside stop on the Windward Coast that's perfect for families and those wanting a hands-on experience. You can sample dozens of macadamia nut flavors, sip on free Kona coffee, and let the kids crack raw nuts with a rock in the backyard with the chickens. If you're looking for a quiet, specialty coffee tasting or a deep dive into agricultural science, this is more of a gift shop experience than a working farm tour, so head elsewhere.

In their words

The story

Tropical Farms began as a roadside operation in 1987. With Kamehameha Highway in the fore, and the Pacific Ocean at our backs, my wife Chrissy and I set upon an adventure that is ongoing after three decades. Cracking, sorting and packaging at night, the days were filled with children at the hip and the the selling of fresh macadamia nuts from the hood of our car. Today, we are fortunate indeed to have Tropical Farms in the perfect place. My wife and I were born and raised on the island of Oahu, and we are pleased to offer you a location that is among the most memorable in the State of Hawai’i—real country and true hospitality!
