There are stories that make you pause—and then there are stories that stir your soul. The journey behind Pineapple Pink is not just the story of a business. For Pricilla Moynihan, founder of Pineapple Pink, her story and life’s purpose are rooted in generational grit, nurtured by nature, and driven by a bold belief: that food can be both healing and joyful.
From standing on a kitchen stool at four years old with a rolling pin in hand, to cooking in hometown restaurants, to training at the prestigious Culinary Institute of America, and earning a place at the world-renowned Blue Hill at Stone Barns, this is the journey of a chef forged through fire, flavor, and fearless ambition.
After years in the structured world of classical French culinary training—where kitchens mirrored military brigades—came a new chapter: a 9–5 job at a local butcher shop. It was here that the art of whole animal butchery, nose-to-tail cooking, and open-fire methods added richness and depth to an already formidable skill set. Then came a dream job in the corporate world—developing and testing recipes. And when that dream ended, a new one began.
The Seed Becomes a Brand
What emerged wasn’t just a business. It was the culmination of a lifelong vision—a dream once scribbled in the margins of a college nutrition notebook:
“Medicinal-based menu – explain how it benefits the body.”“Think like a kid—make it fun and creative.” z
– Pricilla Moynihan, founder of Pineapple Pink
Enter Pineapple Pink—a brand that represents healing through food, but also creativity, wonder, and the beauty of play. A company where every product tells a story and every ingredient has a purpose.
From the bees tended by her grandfather—who tried to heal his wife’s ALS with bee sting therapy—to the clean eating habits modeled by her family, and the fruits, flowers, and wild mushrooms foraged on her grandparents’ farm, this business is a garden grown from ancestral love and hard work. The name? A symbol of what it stands for:
Pineapple – a sign of hospitality, wealth, and quality.Pink – for love, joy, and childlike creativity.

More Than a Brand—A Movement
Pineapple Pink isn’t here to follow trends. It’s here to rewrite the rules of what healthy food looks like—and tastes like. It’s for the sweet tooth who wants vitamins with their dessert. It’s for the busy parent who wants a morning sip that fuels the body and feeds the soul. It’s for the dreamers, the healers, and the lovers of food who believe that flavor and function can (and should) coexist.
This brand is a declaration:Health is wealth. Food is medicine. And love is the first ingredient.
