  • We all face moments in our lives that have us reevaluating what we want our future to look like. For Saili Levi, it was a health scare that jumpstarted his pursuit to change his career path. And after several failed attempts, it was a venture into vanilla that is bringing his family some sweet success.

    Awesome. Been to Tahiti a bunch and would see Vanilla everywhere. I always wanted to get some going at home but hard to find starters. Happy to see these guys going for it. It is a good crop that sells for a good profit.

    awesome man you've become. I'm from the Philippines and I've ventured vanilla farming for two years now. Hopefully next year my vines will show the fruits of my labor😁. I'm amused of those crazy ideas especially the mushhroom😅 I've been into it too. Vanilla farming was just introduced to me by a foreigner friend here. It was just a foreign idea and maybe it's a destiny for me because I was once being fascinated with melliponics several years ago. At last I can make use of my stingless bees soon. Hopefully they will do the pollination for free someday😅.

      Ohia trees are delicate, they don't really like orchids growing on them. But hapu'u ferns are happy to support other species, thats why they are called the mother of the forest. They make a great trellis for vanilla.
