Vanilla orchids are among the most fascinating plants in the world. Unlike most orchids grown for their flowers, vanilla orchids are cultivated for their seed pods — what we know as vanilla beans.
At Organic Valley, our orchids are tended with care in shaded plantations that mimic their natural tropical habitat. The delicate flowers bloom for just a few hours, during which our skilled farmers hand-pollinate each one — a tradition that dates back centuries.
