For Vanilla Growers
Jones & Co. provides technical assistance, expert mentorship, DNA sequencing, vanilla cuttings, and guaranteed market access to vanilla growers around the world — new and experienced alike.
How We Help
Whether you're starting your first vanilla vine or scaling a commercial operation, we have the resources and connections to help you succeed.
Hands-on guidance for vanilla cultivation — from site selection and shade management to pollination techniques, harvest timing, and curing methods. Our network of experts spans decades of experience across multiple species and climates.
We help new growers source cuttings and connect experienced growers and curers with beginners. A farmer in Madagascar can share curing techniques with a new grower in Florida. One of our experts in Europe has advised startups all over the world. We make those connections happen.
DNA sequencing is done at the Florida Tropical Research Center. Knowing exactly what species you're growing — Planifolia, Tahitensis, Pompona, or a rare local variant — is critical for marketing, pricing, and cultivation strategy.
For growers in Florida, the Caribbean, and other suitable climates, we have sources of quality vanilla cuttings. Access to verified, healthy planting material is often the biggest barrier for new growers — we help you clear it.
We don't just advise growers — we buy their vanilla. By creating a market for diverse origins and species, we give growers the confidence to invest in quality. When you grow it right, we'll find customers who value it.
The Vanilla Handbook by Piero Bianchessi covers every stage of vanilla production — from planting and shade management to pollination, harvest, curing, and quality grading.
