About Australian Vanilla Plantations

Transforming Vanilla

Australian Vanilla Plantations was incorporated in 2016, however the idea was born from the seeds of curiosity. A simply dinner conversation in 2013 lead to a question of 'why can't we grow vanilla in Australia'?.

In 2015 I was introduced to a remarkable lady who had done research into vanilla growing and successfully grew vanilla in Sydney. She proved that vanilla could be be grown in sub-tropical regions given the right environment and conditions. 

To grow vanilla commercially and transition research into a commercial concern a number of key questions need to be resolved.

These questions include; how to create a greenhouse that was low cost, low maintain, easy to construct that was small enough to put on a variety of different properties.
