点评:There aren't enough wonderful things I can say about my visit to the Sugarloaf pineapple farm! The visit started with great communication and directions from Jude, the owner of the farm. She and her staff greeted us and showed us where to park, introduced themselves, and got us ready for a fun and delicious experience. We got to learn about the history of pineapple growing on Kauai, as well as the differences between Sugarloaf and other varieties of pineapples. Jake was our guide, and besides being a wealth of knowledge, he was an all-around great person to have leading our group. He kept everyone involved and entertained, was more than happy to answer any questions we had, and really developed a great rapport with everybody on the tour including the children. Even though I don't have kids on my own, it was nice to see kids treated as equals and given the same hands-on experience that the adults were able to enjoy. We each got to pick our own pineapple and plant one as well. Getting to taste the pineapples was worth the trip on its own. They're simply like nothing else you've ever had (sweet and soft like cotton candy, so tender you can eat the core as well, and without the acidity you normally associate with pineapple), and once you've tried a Sugarloaf, no other pineapple will do. You will definitely become a "pineapple snob" after coming here.
This isn't a huge commercially run operation. It's a small family business. You can tell that every single person you talk to puts a lot of love and dedication into making this place and its product the absolute best it can be. If I make it to Kauai again, another visit here is a must!
翻译:我对这次糖面包菠萝农场之旅赞不绝口!农场主朱迪热情地接待了我们,并为我们指路。她和她的员工热情地迎接我们,告诉我们停车地点,并做了自我介绍,让我们做好了享受美味菠萝的准备。我们了解了考艾岛菠萝种植的历史,以及糖面包菠萝与其他品种的区别。杰克是我们的导游,他不仅知识渊博,而且是一位非常棒的导游。他让每个人都参与其中,气氛活跃,乐于解答我们的所有问题,并与包括孩子们在内的所有游客都建立了良好的关系。虽然我没有孩子,但看到孩子们被平等对待,并像大人一样亲身体验,真的让我感到很欣慰。我们每个人都可以采摘自己喜欢的菠萝,还可以自己种下一个。光是品尝菠萝就值回票价了。它们和您以往吃过的任何菠萝都截然不同(甜美柔软,像棉花糖一样,嫩到连芯都能吃,而且没有通常菠萝那种酸味),一旦您尝过Sugarloaf菠萝,其他菠萝就都黯然失色了。来这里之后,您绝对会变成一个“菠萝鉴赏家”。
这不是一家大型商业化企业,而是一家小型家族企业。您可以感受到,与您交谈的每个人都倾注了大量的爱与热情,力求将这家店和产品做到极致。如果我再去考艾岛,一定要再来这里一次!
