Laie Vanilla

Laie Vanilla Co. is a family farm operation. We have spent hundreds of hours learning how to cultivate vanilla orchids from personal research to hands on experience through trial and error. We have been growing vanilla for the last 5 years and on any given day we will spend 3 to 5 hours in the shade house (where we grow the vanilla) tagging new vanilla buds or pollinating vanilla flowers. We are committed to providing premium vanilla for our customers because without you, we cannot continue to grow and adapt in order to provide the best quality of vanilla. We may not be the biggest vanilla farm or have over 10+ years of experience, but our methods and way of growing vanilla have been proven to be very effective. We welcome you to join us for a day and experience the Laie vanilla farm for yourself. Also, we are looking start offering tours of the vanilla farm on a more consistant basis and potentially expand our operation for all to enjoy. As for the future, we are looking to start an educational program in our schools. Our main focus will be the youth ages 12 and up. We want to energize and spark excitment for the future generation to help them gravitate towards the agricultural industry. In short we will teach them how to grow vanilla. As students learn how to grow their own vanilla it is my hope that I can provide guidance and enstill confidence in them that one day Hawaii can be recognized for growing vanilla the same way we are known for pineapple, macadamia nuts, cacao and coffee.
