CFFI Enters A New Partnership with Grenada's Vanilla Expert

Here is Sherwyn, our local vanilla expert.

He arrived with a team of farmers to help us plant vanilla,both on our model organic cocoa farmand along the route of Jouvay Chocolate's free farm and factory tour.

Vanilla is actually a vine, a distant relative of the orchid.

Vanilla is not easy to grow.

It has to be hand-pollinated.

The root end has to be carefully exposed.

But it is a lucrative crop, well-suited to growing conditions in Grenada.

Some cocoa growers may want to add it to their farms.

Our thanks to Sherwyn and his team!
