Vanilla answers

  1. I would love to be able to grow some Vanilla, simply for the fragrance…beans would be a bonus. However, I live in northern Alberta, Canada… Is it possible without building some type of greenhouse? Or is it even (only?) possible with a greenhouse?

  2. Hi! I would like to know if there is any specific organic norm for certified organic vanilla

  3. There are lots of organizations the certify organic products, they range from shady (self-certified) to well-respected (regular on-site inspections, etc). The organic standard I personally feel is best is Demeter certified products. Demter certifies the whole system, from the way a product is grown, to the effect growing it has on the local land and community. In my personal opinion, Demeter is the most holistic and trustworthy organic certification.
