EARTH University Pineapple
EARTH University pineapple is sourced by EARTH for
Whole Foods Market from a network of small and medium pineapple
growers who are working with EARTH to advance education, entrepreneurship,
and sustainable agriculture in the tropics.
EARTH’s profits from pineapple sales contribute to student
scholarships and finance research and investment in organic and
sustainable pineapple production. The university is planting two
5 acre plots of organic pineapple on its campuses in both the dry
and humid tropics of Costa Rica.
EARTH University pineapple became available in some Whole Foods
Market stores starting in Mid-April 2007.
