PEOPLE, TRAVEL, and FOOD..............

People make this world, and people make a difference. Not the bureaucrats who make laws, not the politicians who tax us, and not our Governments~ but our friends, our neighbors, our family. This is who makes this world what it is. I decided that I wanted to make a difference by helping people and so I decided to dedicate myself to them and what could be better than the vanilla bean.

 

Traveling to  Madagascar:

The main cultivation region is the Sava region in the north-east of the island. Half of the worlds vanilla come from here. The largest city Sambava in this region is known as the "capital of vanilla". The rainy season is in October and November, when the orchids begin to flower and pollination by hand starts. In mid-June, weeks before the official harvest in Madagascar, vanilla pods hang from the orchid vine like green fingers.

The harvest season starts July 15th.
