Dole left Hawaii in 1992 and now, Utah investors are creating a sustainable farming community and returning some of the land — that has been in corporate hands for over 150 years — to local farmers.
WAHIAWA, Hawaii — Brandon Fugal, a real estate mogul and lifelong resident of Pleasant Grove, completed his first commercial real estate transaction shortly after getting his real estate license at age 18.
In 1922, Dole's Hawaiian Pineapple Company owned the island of Lanai, in addition to a large plantation in Wahiawa on Oahu, and. By 1992, the then-named Dole Corporation ceased operations in Hawaii, as it was cheaper to grow and package pineapples in South America, where they are believed to have originated, and elsewhere.
While Fugal has several business endeavors outside of real estate, he may be best known today as the owner of the 512-acre cattle property known as Skinwalker Ranch — located near Vernal, in eastern Utah.
The land Fugal and his partners now own has been branded as Laukiha'a Farms — has been exclusively a part of major corporate farming interests for over 150 years, Fugal stated.
