Again, thank you for the information. Real Madagascar vanilla, the most available here in the US, has gotten crazy expensive in the last couple of years. Because I wanted to be able to explain why I looked into it. I learned how hard vanilla is to grow in the best situations but several years of bad weather and civil unrest did not help production. Demand was increasing at the same time supply was decreasing.
I’ll be looking for the bean in December 
Growing vanilla is not really hard if you have proper climate and land; the problem is pollinating the flowers to create beans. Each and every flower should be pollinated by hand! Bees or any other natural method won’t work. So every vanilla bean you find in the market has been individually hand-pollinated by the farmer.
Very cool - thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing your posts and your photos. You’re opening a new window onto the world for me.
So far in my life, I have only visited a couple of coffee-producing places in the Americas so your photos are wowing me. 
Your experience growing these items is fascinating to me! Thank you so much for posting the pictures and telling us about your growing and harvesting.
Recent interview
Bookmarked to watch when I get more data. My quota for today is almost over. Thanks for sharing.
Started watching it. Anyway I emailed them asking if I can sell them cloves and pepper but still no answer. May be they are really busy with the business catching up. more than 1 hour video, I must watch it in at least 3 sittings. lol.
I connected with Ori this morning to let him know I posted the YT video and he replied. So, keep trying. It’s been my experience, they reply. Also, consider joining their Facebook community forum as a way to reach them and/or the team. Very active forum.
Is that your channel? I subscribed liked and commented 
No. I’m a BB customer. Glad the forum worked out for you.
My neighbour couldn’t harvest all the clove in time. She didn’t get enough people to pick them in time. Now it’s becoming seeds.
Features the masala spice collab with BB & Chef.
Thanks for posting this, @Rooster … I can’t believe it’s almost a year since Floyd passed. I had the great pleasure of interviewing him for an article I wrote almost 15 years ago and became a huge fan of Tabla, then of North End Grill. He gave my folks and I a tour of the rooftop garden at NEG on one of my last visits there, and it’s a memory I hold dear. Separate of being an insanely knowledgeable and talented chef, he was one of the loveliest human beings I’ve ever met.
What a nice experience! Have you tried his spice trio? We are wowed by the freshness and blend flavors.
I haven’t yet, mostly because I have far too many spices in the house right now, but I certainly well! I’m thrilled that his family has continued his good work!
I had no idea that the clove harvest was so short, that they are ready but then quickly go to seed. Is that very bad for your neighbour, or only a small loss?
Glad you asked because I am unclear as to what @LastManStanding is referring to. I’m not sure I followed the comments very well.
I didn’t know how the latest post might have related to others, but the neighbour’s clove crop being partly lost because there weren’t enough pickers and the trees went to seed, I understood that part.
