SUSTAINABLE ORGANIC Practices

Farming is, Planting, Caring For, Harvesting.

Vashon Vanilla's mission is to produce safe food using natural, earth-friendly and environmentally sustainable methods.

Vanilla beans help reduce the carbon footprint by conserving valuable natural resources such as water and building the soil back up, which is commonly left depleted after other crops.

“We are conscious of the issues affecting the vanilla industry and local communities in Madagascar,” .....“ 100% of our vanilla is traceable back to specific vanilla orchards.”

Nurtured From Bean to Serve

Does it really matter where ingredients come from? We think so. Enter Kikövö and Vashon Vanilla, a family owned company that specializes in producing fresh vanilla beans. With our specialized growing, harvesting and processing methods we are the first and only bean company in North America supplying perfect products with year round availability!

Fresh Vanilla Beans are a perfect part of a sustainable agricultural program:

• All our beans are carefully nurtured without the use of harmful insecticides.
• They naturally replenish the soil. Since, the result of vanilla harvest is largely determined by the level of the soil fertility, its cultivation, fertilization, and the plant's variety.
• The vanilla plant allows water to percolate deeper into the soil for improved moisture retention and provides a natural filter for improved yield.
