Weekly Pick

Vanilla is an essential flavoring that can be found in many dishes and desserts. But did you also know, in many cases, the poor farmers who harvest vanilla beans are given next to nothing for their hard work and crops?

The Vanilla Company, a Santa Cruz, California company, works to give farmers the wages they deserve for the high quality products they produce.

Vanilla Extract

The company, led by Patricia Rain — a.k.a. The Vanilla Queen — purchases vanilla beans in bulk directly from vanilla farmers. They are also sustainably grown and fairly traded with farmers.

The vanilla from The Vanilla Company is also more flavorful than most vanilla, and is free from additives, such as caramel coloring and corn syrup.

For vanilla that is fairly traded, and leagues above the rest in quality and flavor, purchase from The Vanilla Company!
