Vanilla

Our Vanilla collection features organic vanilla grown by farming cooperatives in Southern India. Vanilla vines are cultivated using traditional food forest methods, where they climb coconut trees and are often intercropped with black pepper. This approach supports biodiversity, healthy soil, and long-term resilience for farming communities.

Our organic vanilla is hand-harvested and cured in small batches by Indian farmers who are paid a living wage and committed to sustainable agriculture. Farming practices include rainwater harvesting, care for native and endangered plant species, and the use of biogas for fuel. Carefully selected for aroma and flavour, our certified organic vanilla beans, vanilla powder and vanilla extract are handled with care and packed in Campbell River, BC.

Choosing organic vanilla from Gathering Place Trading means selecting premium, single-origin vanilla grown using traditional farming methods and handled with care at every stage. Our organic vanilla products are free from additives and sourced from farming cooperatives committed to sustainable agriculture. Well-suited for baking, cooking, and everyday use, this collection offers dependable flavour with a clear connection from farmer to kitchen.
