With its tropical climate, Hawaii is the only state in the U.S. that grows cacao, coffee and pineapples, Dole Food Company, Inc., which traces its roots to Hawaii in the 1850s, is bundling the three Hawaiian favorites into a pair of unique giftboxes that can be shipped throughout the U.S. for the 2022 holiday season.
Now available through December 2022 from Dole Hawaii, based in Waialua on the North Shore of Oahu, the boxes allow holiday gift-givers to combine Hawaiian-grown DOLE Pineapples with Hawaiian-roasted coffee and single-origin chocolate from Dole’s historic Waialua Estate into a distinctive Island-themed gifting experience.

Dole has been growing its pineapples on the North Shore of Oahu since 1901 and initiated a program of diversified Hawaiian agriculture in the late 1990s which lead today to cultivating cacao and coffee on its Waialua Estate.
Dole also offers a North Shore Dole Pineapple Farm Tour of its 2,000-acre pineapple fields. Guided by local experts, the small-group, weekdays-only tour includes pineapple planting, harvesting, processing and packing demos; stops at the historic Green World Coffee Farm and Waialua Sugar Mill; and photo stops at North Shore beach and the iconic King Kamehameha statue.
Tour participants also get a DOLE Royal Hawaiian Pineapple to take home and can save 20% on Tour tickets by using the code “DOLE20” on the Tour-booking website.
