OUR GOAL
"To make the healthiest product possible through minimal processing and organic farming while directly supporting the communities we source from. After all, it’s just fruit, not Rocket Science!"
-Chuck and Ben
HOW WE STARTED
![]() Eating this fruit on a daily basis, he always felt refreshed and energized. Knowing his time in Nicaragua was limited, he wondered how he could enjoy Dragon Fruit back home in the United States? |
![]() Teaming up with longtime friend Ben Hiddlestone (co-founder), they came up Pitaya Foods. A company that would make a difference in people's lives, while providing healthy Dragon Fruit to others around the world. Little did they know, this company would soon change the lives of hundreds of families in Nicaragua for the better. |

SUPER-MOMS
![]() It is now 2020, and Pitaya Foods has been able to provide over 170 jobs for single mother's a.k.a. Super-Moms! We pay our Super-Moms above minimum wage and help contribute to their social security. Without these women, Pitaya Foods would not exist, and we are humbled every day by the hard work they give. GOING GREENPitaya Foods also has a commitment to renewable energy. We operate out of one of the only solar-powered facilities in Central America and are always considering new energy efficient ways to help with production. |
THE FARMERS
![]() Here at Pitaya Foods we are trying to create something long lasting with benefits for everyone involved. We believe that this fruit earns its title as being a super fruit because of its super-power potential to make you a little healthier, and put smiles on the faces of people in impoverished countries. |
