Keaau, Hawaii - Mauna Loa Macadamia Shopping

It is now time to see what kind of tasty morsels are available in the gift shop.


Keaau, Hawaii - Mauna Loa Macadamia Factory Tour

The Mauna Loa Macadamia production facilities were in high gear.  A self guided factory tour is available and I always like to take these types of tours.


Hilo, Hawaii - Exterior of the Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Farm

This is one of the entrances to the production area.  The property is owned by Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Corporation, the world's largest producer of macadamia seeds. It has been a subsidiary of the Hershey Company since 2004. The company takes its name from the volcano Mauna Loa. Their headquarters and main processing plant are near the mountain, south of Hilo in the Puna District of the island of HawaiĘ»i, known as the Big Island. (source wikipedia)
