Vanilla Farm Experience

Discover the secrets of vanilla cultivation in Tenerife!

Come and discover one of the world’s most precious and popular aromas: vanilla. Where does it come from? How do we produce these wonderfully fragrant pods?

At our farm, our ambition is to transform a desert into a rich and diverse subtropical ecosystem filled with edible plants. I will begin the tour by showing you how, using permaculture techniques, we recreate a natural habitat where both humans and nature can thrive. In this pleasant environment, you will learn how vanilla has adapted here and how I aspire to cultivate it on a larger scale.During the blooming season (April to July), you may witness the pollination of the flowers, the harvesting of the pods, and/or their preparation. My modest vanilla production is unique in the Canary Islands.

The experience takes place in our farm located on the outskirts of the small village of Los Silos (north coast of Tenerife), at the foot of the Teno rural park. It is a natural space of great beauty, semi-protected, where we create an oasis inspired by the principles of permaculture and ecological agriculture.

You will discover a land that was almost deserted when we arrived and gradually transformed into an edible forest.
