	Royal Hawaiian Orchards, L.P. (the “Partnership”) is a master limited partnership, organized under the laws of the State of Delaware in 1986. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Royal Hawaiian Orchards, L.P. and its subsidiaries Royal Hawaiian Resources, Inc., Royal Hawaiian Services, LLC, and Royal Hawaiian Macadamia Nut, Inc. (“Royal”), include all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly their financial position as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and the results of operations, changes in partners’ capital and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or for any future period.
	The December 31, 2013, condensed consolidated balance sheet data in this report was derived from audited consolidated financial statements contained in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in the Partnership’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
	The Partnership’s business is highly seasonal, reflecting the general pattern of peak production and consumer demand for nut products during the months of October, November and December. Typically, a substantial portion of the Partnership’s revenues occur during its third and fourth quarters. The Partnership generally experiences lower revenues during its first and second quarters and may incur losses in these quarters. Following the expiration of nut purchase contracts with a third party in December 2012, 2013 and 2014, nuts that were previously sold to the third party are being and will be retained, as needed, to build inventory levels for the Partnership’s branded products segment. Commencing in 2015, the Partnership expects to use all of its nuts, except those grown in the IASCO orchards, for its branded products segment. See “Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Results of Operations - Orchards Segment,” for more discussion on the Partnership’s nut purchase contracts.

Description of New Accounting Pronouncements Not yet Adopted [Text Block]	'
	-3	NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The new guidance provides new criteria for recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the Partnership expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance requires expanded disclosures to provide greater insight into both revenue that has been recognized and revenue that is expected to be recognized in the future from existing contracts. Quantitative and qualitative information will be provided about the significant judgments and changes in those judgments that management made to determine the revenue which is recorded. The standard will be effective prospectively for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The Partnership is currently assessing the provisions of the guidance and the impact of the adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]	'
Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]	'
	-4	SEGMENT INFORMATION
	Effective for the year ended December 31, 2013, the Partnership changed the way it reports its business segments in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 280, Segment Reporting, to align reporting with the way the management evaluates and makes decisions concerning the allocation of resources and the assessment of performance. Previously, farming operations were shown as a separate segment but are now incorporated into the orchards segment. For financial reporting purposes, 2013 information has been presented based on the new segment reporting structure.
	The Partnership’s two reportable segments, orchards and branded products, are organized on the basis of revenues and assets. The orchards segment derives its revenues from the sale of wet-in-shell (“WIS”) macadamia nuts grown in orchards owned or leased by the Partnership, sales of macadamia nut kernel to Royal and revenues from the farming of macadamia orchards owned by other growers. The branded products segment derives its revenues from the sale of branded macadamia nut products and bulk macadamia nut kernel reported under Royal.
	Management evaluates the performance of each segment on the basis of operating income and topline growth. The Partnership accounts for intersegment sales and transfers at cost plus a mark-up and such transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
	The Partnership’s reportable segments are distinct business enterprises that offer different products or services.
	The following tables summarize each reportable segment’s revenues, operating income or loss, assets and other information as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. Due to the seasonality of crop patterns and the timing of nut purchase contract fulfillment, interim results are not necessarily indicative of annual performance.

	Orchard costs (e.g., irrigation, fertilizer and pruning) related to nuts sold under nut purchase contracts and services provided under farming contracts are expensed to cost of goods sold and cost of services provided based on management’s estimate of the production costs related to macadamia nuts sold during the interim reporting period. The difference between costs incurred-to-date and costs expensed-to-date is reported on the consolidated balance sheet as deferred farming costs. Deferred farming costs generally accumulate during the first and second quarters of the year and are expensed over the remainder of the year.

	The Partnership is subject to a gross income tax as a result of its election to continue to be taxed as a partnership rather than a corporation, as allowed by the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997. This tax is calculated at 3.5% on partnership gross income.
	Royal is subject to taxation as a C corporation at the current federal tax rate of 34% and state tax rates ranging from 6.4% to 8.84% on the corporation’s taxable income (loss). As a result of the cumulative tax losses of Royal, the balance of the Partnership’s deferred tax asset on Royal’s net operating loss carry-forwards at September 30, 2014, was $2.1 million, against which the Partnership has recorded a valuation allowance equal to 100% of the deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty regarding future realization.

	On July 31, 2014, the Partnership executed a Ninth Amendment to Revolving Loan Promissory Note and a Sixth Amendment to Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with its existing lender, American AgCredit, PCA (“AgCredit”), which extended the maturity date of the $5.0 million revolving credit facility to October 1, 2014. On September 30, 2014, the Partnership executed with AgCredit a Tenth Amendment to Revolving Loan Promissory Note and a Seventh Amendment to Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement which further extended the revolving credit facility to December 15, 2014. The Partnership is negotiating a new two-year revolving credit facility with AgCredit, which the Partnership anticipates having available by year end.
	On August 27, 2013, the Partnership executed the Third Amendment to Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to increase its revolving credit facility from $5.0 million to $7.0 million until December 31, 2013, at which time the revolving credit facility was to be reduced to $5.0 million and any balance in excess of that amount was required to be repaid. On December 26, 2013, the Partnership executed a Fourth Amendment to Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which extended the date by which the revolving credit facility was required to be reduced to $5.0 million from December 31, 2013 to February 14, 2014.
	Advances under the revolving credit facility bear interest at the base rate of 4% or the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal plus 1%, whichever is higher. At September 30, 2014, there were no outstanding amounts on the revolving credit facility compared to $5.6 million at September 30, 2013. The outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2013, was $5.9 million.
	The Partnership also has a 10-year $10.5 million term loan with AgCredit, which was entered into on August 4, 2010. The term loan matures on July 1, 2020, requires monthly payments, with fixed principal reductions, over the term and bears fixed interest at 6.5% per annum. The outstanding balances of the term loan at September 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, amounted to $6.1 million and $6.8 million, respectively.
	Both the revolving credit facility and the term loan are collateralized by all personal and real property assets of the Partnership and its subsidiaries.
	The credit agreements with AgCredit contain various financial covenants. The Partnership was in compliance with all financial covenants at September 30, 2014 and 2013.

	-10	fair value measurements
	The fair value of the line of credit is approximately the carrying value due to the variability of the interest rate and frequency that the interest rate resets.
	The estimated fair value of the Partnership’s fixed-rate term loan was determined using a discounted cash flow model using an estimated market interest rate of 4.25% in 2014 and 2013 with similar terms and remaining maturities to that of the current financial instruments. The Partnership has not considered lender fees in determining the estimated fair value.
	The estimated fair values of the Partnership’s financial instruments are as follows (in thousands):
			September 30,				December 31,
