Item 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.

This statement relates to the Class A Units, without par value of ML Macadamia Orchards LP, which has its principal executive office at 26-238 Hawaii Belt Road, Hilo, Hawaii 96720.

Item 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

(a) This statement is being filed by Farhad Fred Ebrahimi and Mary Wilkie Ebrahimi (the “Reporting Persons”).

(b) 283 Columbine Street, Suite 177, Denver, Colorado 80206.

(c) Farhad Fred Ebrahimi is an investor, and Mary Wilkie Ebrahimi is not employed.

(d) Neither of the Reporting Persons has, during the last five years, been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

(e) Neither of the Reporting Persons has, during the last five years, been party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding become (or remain) subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities law, or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

(f) United States.

Item 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

Not applicable.

Item 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

The board of directors of the general partner of ML Macadamia Orchard has elected Brad Nelson as a director of the general partner effective as of October 1, 2009. Mr. Nelson has been Chief Financial Officer of Seemorgh Investments, Inc., a company owned by the Reporting Persons, since January 2007 and officer and director of a group of companies in the U.S., Europe and Asia owned by the Reporting Persons since 2002. There is no agreement between the Reporting Persons and ML Macadamia Orchards or the general partner relating to the election of Mr. Nelson to the board; nor does Mr. Nelson have any other relationship with the Issuer, its agents, partners, or any of its executive officers, directors, or affiliates.

On October 7, 2009, Crescent River Agriculture LLC, a company wholly owned by the Reporting Persons filed a partial Tender Offer for the purchase of up to 750,000 Class A Units of the Issuer, or 10% of the outstanding Class A Units. The Reporting Persons are seeking to acquire additional Class A Units by Tender Offer because they believe that it is an attractive investment and intend to hold such securities for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons have been unable to purchase as many Class A Units in the market as they would like due to the relatively low trading volume, especially following delisting by the NYSE of the Issuer’s Class A Units in November 2008. The Tender Offer will provide liquidity to those unitholders desiring to sell, while allowing the Reporting Persons to increase their ownership interest in the Issuer. In addition, the Issuer has over 5,000 registered holders of its Class A Units, many of who own less than 100 units. The expenses of the Issuer include the preparation of K-1’s for its unitholders for federal income tax purposes. Reducing the number of holders of Class A Units will reduce the operating costs of the Issuer and as a 35% unitholder, a proportionate amount of such costs savings will inure to the Reporting Persons’ benefit.

The Reporting Persons may make additional purchases of Class A Units or other securities of the Issuer, either in the open market or in private transactions, depending on their evaluation of the Issuer’s business, prospects and financial condition, the market for the Class A Units or other securities, other opportunities available to them, general economic conditions, money and stock market conditions, and other future developments. Depending on these same factors, the Reporting Persons may decide to sell all or part of their investment in the Issuer’s Class A Units.

Except as set forth above, none of the Reporting Persons has any present plans which relate to or would result in:

(a) The acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer;

(b) An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;

(c) A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;

(d) Any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board;

(e) Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer;

(f) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure;

(g) Changes in the Issuer’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person;

(h) Causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association;

(i) A class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or

(j) Any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

Item 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

(a) Farhad Fred Ebrahimi and Mary Wilkie Ebrahimi jointly hold 2,646,088 of the Issuer’s Class A Units. Based on the number of shares reported as outstanding in the Issuer’s 10-K, filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on March 30, 2009, this represents 35.28% of the outstanding Class A Units of the Issuer.

(b) Number of shares as to which Farhad Fred Ebrahimi and Mary Wilkie Ebrahimi have:

(i) sole power to vote or to direct the vote: 0 shares

(ii) shared power to vote or to direct the vote: 2,646,088 shares

(iii) sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of: 0 shares

(iv) shared power to vote or to direct the vote: 2,646,088 shares

(c) The following transactions have been effected by the Reporting Persons since the most recent amendment to the Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 15), which was filed on April 23, 2009:

Date of Transaction	Type of Transaction	Quantity	Price per Share (in US Dollars)
7/14/2009	Purchase of Class A Units	500	$	2.08
7/22/2009	Purchase of Class A Units	1000	$	2.06
8/4/2009	Purchase of Class A Units	2000	$	2.05

All of these transactions were effected by the Reporting Persons through Fidelity Investments’ online brokerage.

(d) No other person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or any proceeds from the sale of the shares beneficially owned by any of the Reporting Persons.
