FAIR-TRADE AND SUSTAINABILITY

Every vanilla pod tells a story — one of hard work, dedication, and tradition. Fair trade isn't just a buzzword for us; it's the foundation of our company. By ensuring that our farmers receive fair wages and safe working conditions, we empower them to continue their craft with dignity and pride.

Organic farming is our promise to our planet and future generations. By nurturing the soil and avoiding harmful chemicals, we ensure that each vanilla pod is grown in harmony with nature. These practices preserve the rich biodiversity of our farms and produce the highest quality vanilla beans.

BEYOND FAIR TRADE

We wouldn't be where we are without our amazing farmers and suppliers. We've been extremely lucky to find a way to truly provide fair compensation for the farmers. For us, it's worth any extra cost that may come with it.

Not all 'fair trade' companies are created equal. We wanted to do it right from the start, with unwavering dedication to the people who make this all possible.

THE IMPORTANCE OF SMALL FARMS

It is important to us that we not only support small farms, but family farms as well. We know that generations of care and dedication goes into each vanilla bean, so in supporting them, we also get to provide the highest quality vanilla beans for you.

The Origins tab under About Us will have more information about the farming regions. Check it out, they're gorgeous places.

CARING FOR THE PLANET

Sustainability and protection for the planet are just as important to us as fair trade. Unnatural pesticides and harmful chemicals are NEVER used to grow our vanilla beans. The farming practices are safe, both for the farmers and for the ecosystems.

We encourage you to do your part in caring for the planet by supporting businesses that are committed to protecting the earth.

OUR NO-WASTE PROCESS

We believe in using every part of the bean! Our no-waste process is something we're proud of. For example, the pods leftover from scraping out our Vanilla Caviar are thrown into our Vanilla Extracts and Vanilla Sugars for extra flavor. The pod is still valuable for infusing!

This is not only environmentally-friendly and cost effective, but also allows us to keep fair prices for our customers. Less waste, more affordable.
