Hands down the BEST pineapple I've ever tasted! No competition. The tour at Hole in the Mountain Farm ended up being the highlight of our entire trip. It was interactive, educational, and delicious. We loved sampling everything the farm had to offer; fresh white pineapple, dried pineapple, pineapple juice, and freshly made pineapple soft serve. We weren't sick of it when we left, we honestly wanted more. I cannot recommend this tour enough! Big fan of Sugarloaf Pineapple and I wish them all the best. read more

Tours are given on Thursdays, so you need to plan in advance with reservations. The tour is educational & entertaining & would be appropriate for children. It is a walking tour on level ground. Pace is slow since they stop to explain different stages of planting & picking. As part of the tour, you get to plant a pineapple as well as pick one to take home. Also, you taste freshly cut pineapple, pineapple juice, dehydrated pineapple & a refreshing pineapple "icee"" made totally of pineapple. Tour takes about 2 hours & is well worth the time & money. What's extra special is the sugarloaf pineapples are sweeter & lower acid than you buy in the grocery store. We also bought 2 large pineapples to share with family in the coming week. You can also carry them home as long as you declare them at agricultural check in at airport. Also, they fed-ex pineapples if you go to their website. read more

Magical pineapple. I've never tried anything like it. Must try if you are on the island. Be prepared to spend $$$.

Absolutely the BEST sugarloafs pineapples on Island! Big, juicy wonderful goodness. These farmers definitely have halos!

Paul & Jude just seem like the best, salt of the earth people. Jude led our tour - it was so entertaining and I loved all of her stories and fun facts. Ice cold water was provided throughout the tour, there were bathrooms available, they reminded us to wear proper shoes and provided instructions/disclaimers in the booking emails so we felt prepared, and we got to try fresh sugarloaf slices, juice, and soft serve :) We even got to take two pineapples home! It was a nice change of pace from our more adventurous Kauai activities and my husband loved getting to plant and pick his very own pineapple. The location is so stunning too - we had a blast! read more

It was an interesting experience getting to plant our own pineapples at the farm! We saw beautiful pineapple flowers and adorable golden pineapples, and we even got to taste the incredibly sweet, low-acid Sugarloaf pineapple. Although a bit pricey, it was a unique and enjoyable experience in Kauai. read more

Super great tour. Learned a lot about the pineapple life cycle and tasted incredible pineapple. Would do it again.

One of the highlights of our Kauai trip. Not only did we get to finally try to Sugarloaf pineapple, we got to plant and harvest one! We learned a lot about growing pineapples and look forward to growing our own at home now. Even our 6 and 8 yo enjoyed it. They are reciting things they learned from Jude to friends. Jude was very welcoming to her farm. It made us feel like a local just chatting with neighbors. Really encapsulate the aloha spirit. Highly recommend! read more

I did this tour a couple years ago with about eight of my friends. The owners/farmers were very very informative and it's a fascinating bit of botany to learn. The sugar loaf pineapple is worldly delicious and surprisingly better than any other pineapple I ever ate. The folks at the farm were friendly and made for a wonderful day. read more

I can't say enough about this tour! I love the fact that the owners themselves lead the tours and give you a very informative and hands on experience. Their love for what they do really shows and just the nicest and hospitable couple! Water was plentiful, umbrellas were provided for people wanting shade and we left full from the pineapple samples, fresh squeezed pineapple juice, pineapple smoothies and dried pineapple. And when pineapples are in season, you are gifted with your own pineapple to take home! Talk about generosity!! I have never in my life seen someone cut off the bottom of a pineapple and squeeze a large amount of juice out of it. It was amazing and the pineapples were absolutely the BEST and sweetest pineapple I have ever had. Thank you for sharing your life's journey and love of what you have grown and developed Jude and Paul! read more

This tour was so awesome! Paul and Jude were angels! Cold water! Fresh cut pineapple! Their hospitality was so great - they made us feel like we were with ohana. Please help support this pineapple farm. It is the best pineapple on the planet. Seriously. No acid. Great texture. Just do it. Don't think. It takes a long time to grow a pineapple..... enjoy it like you mean it. read more

Kauai sugarloaf pineapple - Baby Sugarloaf Pineapple - Farmers Market Near Me

These pineapples are a must to try - sweet, no acidic bite on your tongue after eating a couple of pieces. They sell at farmers markets at some specific grocery stores as well. Super friendly and helpful in cutting up the pineapples for you to eat right away! read more

Sugarloaf pineapple is amazing and it is worth the money. Unbelievably delicious. This review is really about the tour of their farm. Jude educated us about every stage involved in the growing of these sensational beauties. Sugarloafs need a tremendous amount of care but Jude and Paul really seem to love what they do. I was also very impressed with the philosophy of their farm: 'Treat everyone the way you would like to be treated'. They rightfully take pride that their employees are well paid and receive good medical insurance. I honestly don't know which is more impressive, how they run their farm or the amazing product that they produce. After we learned about the growing experience we got to plant , pick and gorge ourselves on these sweet gems. We also took home the pineapple we harvested and at the conclusion of the tour we were given Sugarloaf ice cream . One of the best things I've eaten and it's 100% sugarloaf! Needed no sugar or dairy. Amazing! read more

Just book it! Amazing owner-led farm tour in a beautiful setting. Jude & Paul were a delight to spend the morning with, and learn from. Also, this is the BEST pineapple you've ever tasted, it will ruin you for everything else. Support a local business on your vacation...you won't regret it! read more

Highly recommend this tour! We had the tour from Jude. It was interesting, interactive (you harvest and plant a pineapple yourself), and yummy (they give you a frozen sugarloaf frosty after the tour). And you get to take home one of these delicious pineapples. (Sugarloaf tastes different from gold pineapple) Worth every penny! read more

White pineapples. I didn't even know these existed. They are so incredibly sweet. You can even eat the core. Owner was nice and gave us a tour. read more

The Very Best Pineapple Ever! And the tour given by Jude and Paul make this an incredible experience! Not your run of the mill tour by a long shot! Every minute is just filled with great Kauai, pineapple stories and history! Thanks to Paul for such a memorable time! read more

My mom and I had such a wonderful time on Jude and Paul's farm today! Their pineapple is truly remarkable- everything from the texture to the flavor sets it miles apart from your conventional pineapple. The tour itself was great from start to finish. Jude and Paul had waters and rambutan (also grown on their farm) set out for everyone before the tour started and they made sure that everything was accommodated for. Jude led the tour and she is really a force of nature! She's so knowledgeable about the science of pineapples (is there a term for this haha?) and really breaks down the process it takes to produce a pineapple as great as hers with a sense of humor. It's definiteley a very intimate business as she and Paul get their hands dirty with the entire work flow (her guns will prove that she pulls her weight in the fields!). The tour is really cool because it involves the chance to plant and harvest a pineapple, and you learn quite a bit about the technique. The tour ends with us sampling freshly harvested a ton of pineapple and eating as much "phrostie" (think dole whip but with Sugarloaf pineapple and 100% better) as you could want. Plus, you get to take home a pineapple you plucked from the field! If it's not evident from my review, this tour is a must if you a) love pineapples, b) want to support a local business, c) want to learn more about the growing and harvesting of one Hawaii's national treasures! read more

This little excursion was worth the journey to find it. This is not your polished, kitchy tourist stuff. It is an actual hard working farm where the best pineapple on the planet is grown. This will be the best pineapple you ever eat. Plus you gain some appreciation for Hawaii agriculture against breathtaking scenery. read more

I am revising my original rating. I am happy to report that when I let the people at the farmer's market know that the container I purchased was a disappointment, they did the right thing and gave me another container. The fruit is still excellent. I highly recommend their product. [The fruit was excellent. I spent $10 for a container of cut pineapple from the Koloa farmers market. However I would estimate that a quarter of pieces were core and not the sweet flesh. Very disappointed. Had I gotten what I thought I paid for, I would have left a five star review.] - original review. read more

Most delicious sugarloaf pineapple I've ever had! Jude does an amazing job educating visitors about the farm on this working tour. I'll never look at pineapples in the same way ever again. read more

I ordered sugarloaf pineapple online to send to my brother and SIL, who had just moved from their 40-year homestead in Daytona Beach, FL, which had a huge pineapple garden on it, to a two-bedroom condo in Gainesville, GA. I sent this information to the Kauai Sugarloaf™ White Hawaiian Pineapple folks, who took such good care of my needs. Not only did they expedite the order, sending it out with the next Tuesday shipment (shipping on Tuesday so that it is delivered to the mainland by week's end rather than sitting in a warehouse all weekend!), but they also notified me about the shipping so that I could both surprise my brother and stay aware of when it was expected. Going above and beyond, they sent not two but four pineapples, putting in a personal note to let the recipients know that the crop was smaller than expected, so rather than the two that I ordered, which they expected to be larger, they were including four smaller ones. Now that is 10-star customer service! I HIGHLY recommend ordering from this farm, and you can find the link online for delivery across country. I tasted the pineapple when I was visiting my brother, and thank goodness for the thorough information the company included, which told us to eat the core! This was unlike any pineapple I have ever eaten, and now I am spoiled for ever eating a "normal" pineapple again. They call these "sugarloaf," and that is the perfect name for these sweet, light yellow ovals of deliciousness. This is a little farm, so please support small business. Your taste buds will be rewarded for it! read more

Absolutely loved this place! Jude was our tour guide and she was super fun. I really enjoyed learning all about the delicious sugarloaf pineapple they grow on their Farm. Best Pineapple I've tasted so far and my wife and two babies loved it. I highly reccomend this tour when visiting Kauai. read more

Wow! What a wonderful experience. I learned, laughed, and ate so much on this tour. Paul and Jude were wonderful, engaging, and inspiring hosts, and the pineapple was... Divine. Truly. read more

Hands down the best pineapple I've ever had in my life!!! I can't wait to go back to Hawaii to get more.

This is the best farm tour on Kauai! To have the actual owners, Jude and Paul, give you a tour of their farm is just incredible. You get to see firsthand how much love and effort they put into every detail and hear hilarious stories about their journey. You get to plant a pineapple! And then they give you a pineapple to take home! And then they stuff you full of fresh cut sugarloaf pineapple, pineapple frosty, and dehydrated pineapple! Yes, there is no denying that their Kauai sugarloaf white pineapples are the best in the world, but the best part of this tour, for me, was Jude and Paul. They are amazing farmers and people and good to the core. read more

I was so excited to visit a pineapple farm and Hole In the Mountain Farm did not disappoint. Because of the way they grow they have pineapples in all phases of growth on the farm. Jude and Paul, the owners, do the tour themselves so you really hear first hand what goes in to running a pineapple farm. We planted our own pineapple and then picked our own and we're able to bring it away with us. We sampled the pineapple at various stages of ripeness- I though all stages were incredible. The cherry on the cake were the pineapple frosties at the end, all you can eat, so delicious it tasted like ice cream. We plan to scoop the delicious fruit out of our pineapples tonight and drink pina coladas our of them. Thank you, Paul and Jude, for a great morning, seeing your farm with the spectacular mountains in the background was wonderful! read more

Don't visit Hole in the Moutain Farm if you like yellow pineapple! Paul and Jude will share their white Sugarloaf pineapple with you and you will never want the yellow stuff again... This was one of our favorite excursions during our vacation on Kauai. Jude gave us a great and informative tour of the farm and shared their amazing story of developing these delicious pineapples. Truly the best pineapple you will EVER eat. We brought 7 back with us! We planted, we picked and we tasted. We also got all we could eat of their pineapple phrostie which was amazing! If you can't make it to the farm, find them at the Farmers Market! Jude, Paul and Vicky were great hosts and we felt very welcome at their farm. read more

We were able to go on a tour of the Kauai Sugarloaf Farm while on our Honeymoon, I had never even heard of a white pineapple until this tour. The owners, Paul & Jude are great people, very friendly and very funny. Their pineapples are AMAZING! If you get a chance, I highly recommend doing their tour, it's thursdays only from 10-12 and you get a special treat at the end. We will for sure be ordering some when we get home to be shipped to us! Thank You Jude & Paul for a great experience & delicious pineapple!!! read more

The pineapple is incredible tasting that is for sure. Just a note that it is a 2+ hour tour so be prepared for walking and waiting to eat pineapple at the end of that 2 hours. Important to note if you have littles. A lot of talking and learning and would have been nice to been able to sample along the way. It's a good experience but not sure if worth $$$$ read more

This was one our most favorite adventures of our trip. Truly an amazing experience!! A must do for everyone!! The pineapple is worth getting!! read more

What a wonderful experience! We did a tour of Jude and Paul's farm while in Kauai I recommend it to anyone traveling here. Jude was our guide, and her tour was not only informative, but genuine and personal. She shared their story with us on the tour and it was a truly unique experience. We were shown how to plant a pineapple and allowed to harvest one! The tour is by reservation only, and only on Thursdays. So you will want to go to the webpage and email for more information. The pineapple is unique as well. It will be hard to look at regular pineapple the same way after tasting the sugarloaf. read more

I really don't want to be the first person leaving a review less than five stars, but I think this tour is not for kids under the age of 10 or 12. It's very hot and there is a whole lot of talking. It's not until the end of two hours of learning about pineapples that the kids get to do anything interactive. I think it is a very educational tour and wonderful for adults. I think the owners are fantastic and of course the product is second to none! read more

I don't know why I am writing this review, because the more people who discover Sugarloaf pineapple, the harder and more expensive it gets to procure them. We did the tour a couple of years ago, not fully understanding how and why a walk around a pineapple field should cost $60. But it changed our lives. Paul and Jude are endearing evangelists for this white pineapple and small-scale agriculture. We go back to Kauai every year, and plan our trip around visits to the farmer's markets where they sell these pineapples. They routinely sell out, so you need to get there early. They are hideously expensive ($25 for a large pineapple equivalent to the Maui Gold you can get at Costco for about $3). Yet, it's worth it. Our group spent about $175 in pineapple for our 10 day visit this year. That included several pineapples that we ate throughout the week at our rental, plus a few more to bring home on the airplane. No, I can't justify it. I love regular pineapple, and we eat it throughout the year on the mainland. But these little white ones are special. Last year we did a blind taste test with some friends who were visiting Kauai for the first time. 5 out of 5 chose the white pineapple as the best when sampling it side by side with Maui gold with a blindfold on. Whether you do the farm tour or not, do yourself a favor and track down a white pineapple at one of the farmer's markets. Eat it side by side with a yellow one and you'll see. read more

We had the sugarloaf pineapple at the farmers market. Definitely buy some if you can. You won't regret it. I wish we bought more.

Wow! Amazing pineapples. They are sweeter and smoother than the gold ones. They are only sold at two farmers markets, on Saturdays and Wednesdays, and at local smaller markets. Our schedule was busy so we could not go to the farmers markets, so I ended up calling a couple of markets listed on the website. Luckily they had some. They are pretty pricey at $4.59/lb. They had samples for us to try at the market. We pretty much ate all the samples! A must try if you are in Kauai. read more

The people at Kauai Sugar Loaf are amazing. I routinely send pineapples to a client and nephew. For years I used Kauai Fruit and Flower until I had to get something ordered and no one would answer the phone or return calls. So I searched and found Kauai Sugarloaf. Not only were they extremely helpful, but also offer options not available at Kauai Fruit & Flower such as sending only one pineapple. This holiday (2019) there was a late harvest and a note pineapples could not arrive until after the holidays. My client would have been devastated as the entire staff looks forward to this every year (for the past 15 years). But Kauai Sugarloaf prevailed and put my order out so my clients would not be disappointed. Good pricing. Excellent quality. Superior service. read more
