Our Story

When it comes to the good stuff, our story starts in the SAVA region of Madagascar, where 80% of the world production of vanilla beans is grown. We’ve been working in this way since 2006, partnering with over 7,000 farmers across 84 villages to sustainably source our vanilla, ensuring that it’s traceable and of premium quality – year after year.

Circle of Sustainability

Creating the best possible product demands the best possible vanilla crop. That means working closely and sustainably with local farmers and partnering with NGOs to achieve this. We go beyond securing a sustainable supply chain– we help farmers and local communities improve cultivation practices that include training in crop diversification and soil management. By helping farmers maintain their plots year-round and grow a wider range of crops, we can help them improve their financial security.

Thriving Together

Since 2006, we’ve shared the benefits of an integrated, sustainable supply chain with an increasing number of Malagasy farmers. We offer our partners higher incomes, greater independence, health benefits and improved education. We also support a variety of programs to protect the local environment and secure their future. We achieve this by working with a network of diverse organizations that provide expertise on the key issues to ensure sustainable farming practices, drive positive impact on farmers’ livelihoods, and protect the precious environment.
