Grown on the Hamakua Coast of the Big Island hidden in the back of a Permaculture Homestead. These majestic orchid vines thrive hanging several stories above the ground and a year long flowing stream. Fertilized by nature, these vanilla beans are wild grown rather than farmed. Each bean was hand pollinated and allowed to grow for nine months before being picked and cured over an eight month tedious process. All beans are then graded. To ensure the highest quality and the best taste for our extracts, we utilize an all organic, gluten free , local alcohol. A difference that vanilla lovers can taste!.
