Talofa Lava & Welcome
Welcome to our Store for Vaoala Vanilla. Our aim is to offer you an authentic experience of a living organic Pacific vanilla farm that is 100% Samoan indigenous and nurtured with a whole lot of love. Explore our handmade vanilla and community products and join us on our Journey in Samoa.
My Story and Journey...
This is a story of how I grew my business that initially started out as a 'hobby'. I have faced and overcome many challenges along the way, such as cyclones damaging the vanilla, lack of workforce and lack of time while still working a fulltime job to keep money coming in to pay the bills.
I have taken the 'big leap' and gone full time with the business so I can take this passionate dream of mine to another level. We are a niche, boutique and organic vanilla farm based in Samoa (South Pacific Islands) that is focused on quality and not necessarily bulk quantity. We want our customers (you) to be a part of our vanilla journey too.
I am a proud, determined and strong indigenous Samoan woman, mother and grandmother and I hope you will enjoy following my journey just as much as I love taking it...Alofa atu, Shelley
Harvesting & Processing Beans
We have been harvesting and processing since March this year and beans are now back on the shelf ready for you! HURRY though because these beans sell out FAST!
Organic Sun-cured Vanilla Beans - vacuum packed (3 beans)
Vanilla Farm Tours
Why not try something different when you visit Samoa? Experience a vanilla tour at the home of Vaoala Vanilla. Enjoy a morning tea of vanilla goodies in the cool breeze with ocean views.
TOUR UPDATE:
Farm Tours are currently ON HOLD. We are transitioning our vanilla farm to something new, different and better! We will advise when farm tours are up and running again.
Why 'The Beans Love Story'?
My vanilla journey has truly been a 'love story' with growing vanilla over the years. Vanilla is my passion and connection to Mother Earth. It brings out the 'nurturing mother' in me in how I care for this plant and what I can produce from the beans.
