Farming with Selva

‘Vanilla is called the black gold because it’s so valuable. Growing this spice requires patience and vigilance. My father taught me how to grow it.’

About Selva

Up in St. Julien, a mere 20-minutes from our hotel, is Selva’s vanilla plantation. He learned to farm the famed ‘black gold’ with his father. He’s one of our island’s only vanilla producers. He still relies on traditional farming methods, which requires untold patience and vigilance.
