Baumkuchen Farm
Located on a nine-acre estate, Baumkuchen Farm offers guests a delightful blend of nature, culture and culinary artistry. Owned and operated by Marie and Markus Stolz, the couple blends German and Japanese baking traditions with local ingredients to create their signature Baumkuchen cakes that feature distinctive ringed layers that resemble growth rings of trees. The farm provides free, thirty-minute farm tours every Tuesday and Friday, guiding guests through the vanilla greenhouses and mangosteen orchards, concluding at the farm shop where guests can sample their signature cakes. For a more immersive experience, the farm hosts hands-on Baumstriezel (also known as chimney cake) baking classes on Tuesday and Wednesday, where participants craft their own cake baked over an open campfire. Theses traditional Austro-German treats begin with strips of dough wrapped around sticks that are then brushed with butter, cinnamon and sugar. Once done, the Baumstriezels are enjoyed fresh with homemade chocolate sauce. More than just a treat for the taste buds, a visit at Baumkuchen Farm is a serene and enriching experience where the spirit of Aloha meets old-world charm in one of Hilo’s best-kept secrets.
