About Grá

Grá is the brand we in Dole Ireland use to set our produce apart. Grá, meaning, of course, to love or have a yearning for, made sense to us because, well, we’re Irish, we love what we do and we pour a whole lot of passion in to our own farms and in to our produce. We developed the brand because we wanted to make it easier for consumers to spot top quality local produce. We think that’s very important.

Growing fresh produce in Ireland can be challenging. In some ways, it’s a vocation. It requires enormous dedication and a real commitment to the cause. Grá growers bring exactly that commitment to Grá produce. Grá growers are fruit and vegetable enthusiasts first and foremost and believe in local first, always.

Because we’re determined that our Grá brand is only applied to the very, very best, only farmers who share our passion for fresh fruit and vegetables and those who bring a pride to their produce work with us. It’s how we set our produce apart.

About Dole Ireland

Dole’s roots can be traced right back to the apple orchards of County Armagh in the 1850s. No wonder we have a soft spot for Irish apples! While we’ve grown a lot since then, our commitment to offering the finest local fresh produce has never changed.

What started as a modest wholesale business over 170 years ago has evolved into, what is today, Ireland’s leading fresh produce provider. Today, we operate 13 facilities across the country, serving retailers, wholesalers, and foodservice professionals nationwide. This extensive reach allows us to work hand in glove with local growers across Ireland, ensuring that homegrown produce, including our beloved Irish apples, holds a prominent place in our portfolio.
