We all face moments in our lives that have us reevaluating what we want our future to look like. For Saili Levi, it was a health scare that jumpstarted his pursuit to change his career path. And after several failed attempts, it was a venture into vanilla that is bringing his family some sweet success.

Does he ever eat them fresh picked, meaning raw and unprocessed?

@@craidynr same when I looked but I think I might have the option to try to grow it in a tall glass jar on a windowsill during the summer months to maintain humidity.
I wish there would be more content like this on TV and everywhere else.
I just began growing vanilla here last year. It is so beautiful to see how your family has come together to learn together. Truly a blessing in so many ways. Thanks for sharing this story and inspiration.

Where do you grow it? I grow vanilla in Yacolt Washington and it’s growing well but not flowering yet. It’s dry here so I buy giant 5 gallon ziplock bags and they keep the humidity high where the plants love it.

Aloha from Pahoa in Puna on the Big Island. Yesterday I planted 14 vanilla vines. Lovely family you have. Thanks for the video.
Amazing! Blessings to you and your ohana and mahalo!
I grow vanilla orchids in Yacolt Washington for fun. I’d love to have high humidity like they do in Hawaii. My girlfriend lives in Brasil and her family has a farm. They have high humidity there.
Awesome>>I love that NATURE GAVE YOU THE LEAP OF FAITH TO SUCCEED
Awesome
Incredible story 💚 blessings to you and your family 🙏🏼
Awesome. Been to Tahiti a bunch and would see Vanilla everywhere. I always wanted to get some going at home but hard to find starters. Happy to see these guys going for it. It is a good crop that sells for a good profit.
I've seen aquaculture, the famous (at one time) Kahuku corn, the guy behind us in Punalu'u had a plumeria farm, all kinds of things. If it works, great!
❤ this story!
Great story! Much Love Braddah🤙🏽
Beautiful story❤
That's great❤
You motivate us❤❤❤❤😢thank you❤
So how can we purchase these vanilla beans?
These so many plant our place look like that. Soecifically our forest.
awesome man you've become. I'm from the Philippines and I've ventured vanilla farming for two years now. Hopefully next year my vines will show the fruits of my labor😁. I'm amused of those crazy ideas especially the mushhroom😅 I've been into it too. Vanilla farming was just introduced to me by a foreigner friend here. It was just a foreign idea and maybe it's a destiny for me because I was once being fascinated with melliponics several years ago. At last I can make use of my stingless bees soon. Hopefully they will do the pollination for free someday😅.
The garden is very nice and tidy, the fruit is also very good, greetings, one scent, I'm from Indonesia
Very interesting
hawaii có nhiewuf cây xanh và cảnh đẹp tự nhiên có phải không ?,
Amazing video, im into my 4th year of growing the vanilla and i wish i could get some helpful tips to see the now 50 foot orchid bloom
I want the split beans! They're exactly what i need for processing. I collect vanilla from around the world. Most of my beans are grade A to gourmet (basically that means very long, pretty beans), but i love working with grade B. Where can i order?
very very good story with awesome info. I have vanilla vines all over some Ohia trees here in Puna.. too high to hand pollinate.. we need to bring them down to head level.... very good info here, aloha and mahalo...

Ohia trees are delicate, they don't really like orchids growing on them. But hapu'u ferns are happy to support other species, thats why they are called the mother of the forest. They make a great trellis for vanilla.
I would like to grow Tahitian vanilla but I am in GA. I would need some kind of greenhouse to grow in because of winter. How tall will it grow and what is the soil you are using to grow it in? Thanks.
