About the Founder
James Dole arrived on the island of Oahu in 1901 with his agriculture and business degree. This is the origin of our goal to bring people delicious and tropical flavors to add to their meals. James was proud of putting the Dole name on the world’s sweetest and juiciest pineapples and shipping them to the mainland USA. He also developed a technique for canning them to make it easy for everyone to enjoy any time of year. He started our tradition of bringing the sunshine into your kitchen, and we continue to innovate new ways to make it easy and fun to eat more fruit.
Each and every Dole fruit and vegetable can trace its roots back to the brilliant rays of sunshine that took it from a seedling in the ground to the beautiful products you enjoy from us today. Those fruits and vegetables contain that powerful light and it’s why we pride ourselves on one thing — bringing you more sunshine more of the time.
More sunshine means more smiles, more energy, and more of the bright, healthy life you work so hard to achieve. And so bringing more sunshine into all of our lives is the goal of everything we do: from the care we take in our sustainable farming practices to the “white glove” treatment we give to every fruit and vegetable we touch. It’s the unwavering commitment of every Dole associate, from our farms to our factories.
We are committed to sourcing the highest quality, non GMO fruits and vegetables born from vibrant sunshine. By meticulously packing them to be healthier, we’ve found a role that few can fill. We steward every ray of sunshine so we can be the light in your kitchen to brighten your state of being. Stewarding sunshine every moment of every day.
