A stint serving as Peace Corps volunteers with rural Madagascar vanilla farmers led to the creation of this business. Devoted to ethically and ecologically sourcing high-quality vanilla beans, Lafaza offers one-fold and two- fold pure vanilla extracts (in gallon and quart sizes), two commercial grades of vanilla beans (in quarter-pound and 1-pound resealable bags), and pure ground vanilla powder (in wide-mouth half-pound jars and 1-kilo foil bags). In addition to partnering directly with farmers and paying higher rates for beans, Lafaza provides training and organizational support for its suppliers. Beans are grown in com- plex agroforestry systems that allow for soil regeneration and water filtration and benefit animal habitats. lafaza.com The Peanut Shop of Williamsburg Virginia Peanuts.
