Visitors and islanders enjoy sampling ripe fresh Royal Hawaiian pineapple at Dole’s “space age” fruit stand in the middle of fields at Wahiawa.
I’m glad “space age” is in quotation marks…
Dole’s “Space Age” Fruit Stand
The Famous Dole Pineapple Stand
The famous Dole Pineapple Stand — Key stop on all the “Around Oahu” Tours — Pineapple never tastes better than freshly picked and chilled.
An Ample Harvest
“The oval to cylindrical-shaped, compound fruit develops from many small fruits fused together. It is both juicy and fleshy with the stem serving as the fibrous core. The tough, waxy rind may be dark green, yellow, orange-yellow or reddish when the fruit is ripe. The flesh ranges from nearly white to yellow. In size the fruits are up to 12 in. long and weigh 1 to 10 pounds or more.”

Your Responsibility As A Parent
“Your responsibility as a parent is not as great as you might imagine. You need not supply the world with the next conquerer of disease or major motion picture star. If your child simply grows up to be someone who does not use the world ‘collectible’ as a noun, you can consider yourself an unqualified success.”
