Wow, ok. Thats 10x cheaper lol. Maybe I'll start with small batch and these hopefully magic beans I got swindled into buying.

I dont know of this coop you speak of. I'll ask around at farmers market and see what's possible. Thanks, looking forward to following up in half a year or more to share results!

It was part of the website I previously sent you…

Ah, missed that somehow. Thought you were just talking casually about your local coop

Oh I wish they were local to me…

Also some vanilla beans are much more expensive than others…

This is the dark blend we just put in booze… it’s 4oz of beans and was like $40 shipped… the co op has a try at il site but that’s not where I order from… we but into a preorder so we get cheaper prices before they offer it on the retail store…

Wow! With prices that I was seeing I was beginning to understand wars over spice.

I'll have to find a cheaper option for sure.

How can I Grow vanilla beans

Um good luck… it’s really labor intensive as you have to hand pollinate the flowers

… dam… you’re right… no way I could eject

sperm hard enough to cross pollinate

I believe they are a type of orchid as well

I read a story about the orchids and I believe they referred to the vanilla bean as well… and some shit about poison and or invasive species… I don’t know.

But really tell me you don’t want to pollinate that!!
