Maui Gold pineapples are now available in Canada, straight from the farm in Hawaii. The farm announced this week that it was expanding delivery to fans in Canada, adding that 10 per cent of all pineapple sales will go toward efforts to help Maui recover from this summer’s deadly wildfires.
Tambara Garrick, chief marketing officer of Maui Gold, explains that the pineapple will be on your doorstep within two or three days after it’s picked, with shipping via UPS air freight. Options include a single pineapple for $90, a two-pack for $100 and a 25-pound case (which features seven or eight pineapples) for $200, which would put the price per pineapple as low as $25.
Garrick acknowledges that it’s a steep price for the uber-premium fruit, even though it includes shipping: “We do realize that it’s expensive. We are working with our shipping partners to bring that cost down.”
