Vanilla Beans (Madagascar)

$17.00

Curio directly sources these high grade, sustainably grown vanilla beans from their partner in Madagascar. A type of orchid originally native to the Yucatán Peninsula, vanilla lives up to the reputation of its more ornamental cousins; finicky and high maintenance, they prefer a tropical environment, and must be carefully hand-pollinated. Contrary to the “plain vanilla” stereotype, natural vanilla is a deeply complex spice, with over 200 distinct flavor components. These gourmet pods from Madagascar have creamy notes of fig, date, chocolate, and oak- perfect for your next baking project or batch of marmalade!

Local

We believe supporting local builds a stronger community. We collectively support friends, neighbors, and colleagues to make and grow the things they love. In doing so, we get fresh goods made with care and we support a thriving local economy.
Seasonal

Seasons change fast in New England and we are committed to only selling what is available locally. We believe seasonal eating supports our farmers and connects us to place. When you buy from our market, you know you are eating in season.
Simple

Small farmers and small producers struggle to connect to you, the consumer. We want shopping local and supporting our neighbors to be easy and we believe Pip & Anchor does just that. All local, all season, all in one place.
