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
