Overview
Schedule
Check-in at Baumkuchen Farm

Craft a traditional Baumstriezel, the chimney cake predecessor of Baumkuchen. Roll out strips of dough, wrap them around a stick, and coat with butter and cinnamon sugar. Baked over a campfire, this dessert has a crispy, caramelized exterior and soft, chewy interior that is a delicious German treat.

Savor the Baumstriezel you crafted over the fire, perfectly complemented by homemade whipped cream and chocolate sauce. Enhance your experience with complimentary drinks, including Mamaki herbal tea, a rare Hawaiian specialty, and locally produced Kona coffee, known for its smooth, rich flavor.

Unwind at the farm’s café, where you can relax in a serene setting surrounded by nature. Savor unique German-Hawaiian fusion desserts, including dragon fruit torte, mango torte, and macadamia nut chocolate torte. Each treat is crafted with fresh, local ingredients for an unforgettable experience.

Visit the farm’s gift shop to browse a variety of unique souvenirs. Take home freshly baked Baumkuchen, Hawaiian sea salt, and frozen German bread to savor the farm’s flavors later. You will also find local specialties and handcrafted items, making it a perfect stop for memorable Big Island gifts.
