 | | Founded in Hawaii in 1851, the Company built its reputation on its commitment to "quality, and quality, and quality." These were the words of James Drummond Dole's "Statement of Principles," upon which he founded and operated the Company. |
 | | In achieving his goal of making pineapple available in every grocery store in the country, James Dole made the name "Hawaiian" almost synonymous with "pineapple." Considered an exotic fruit, the pineapple is the symbol of hospitality, and is often depicted on fine furniture. |
 | | Today, Dole Food Company's worldwide team of growers, packers, processors, shippers and employees is committed to consistently providing safe, high quality fruit, vegetables and food products, along with fresh cut flowers, while protecting the environment in which its products are grown and processed. |
