AD: Vanilla Beans (Madagascar) Co-op

[Guest guest]

Hi folks,

 

A Little Ol'Factory's Winter 2005 Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Beans Co-op

is here!

 

Vanilla is a flavoring popular since pre-Columbian times, when the

Aztecs used it in making chocolate. The first use of vanilla dates back

to Mexico, where the Aztecs used it to create a drink called Xoco-lall,

made from cocoa and vanilla beans. Today, vanilla beans from Madagascar

are the gold standard to which all others are compared.

 

These Grade A Vanilla planifolia beans from Madagascar are wonderfully

fragrant, plump, oily, very pliable (I can wrap them around my fingers

and tie them into a bow), and on average about 17 cm long (some longer).

They are not third party certified organic, but they are grown without

any synthetic chemicals - they are what I call - Traditionally Organic

(grown on land that has never had a synthetic chemical applied to it or

its flora

 

Vanilla beans can be stored for long periods of time - preferably in

glass containers with lids on them.

 

There are about 30 or so vanilla beans in a 1/4 lb, but as these are

being sold by weight this may vary slightly.

 

These days the average retail price for beans like this usually runs at

least $2.00 per BEAN and up - I've seen them being sold for $6.95 per

bean in some places ..

But for this co-op here is the pricing (USD):

 

1/8 lb - $20

1/4 lb - $30

1/2 lb - $55

1 LB - $100

 

The above prices do not include shipping.

 

This co-op will run for 10 days - from January 25 until February 4.

After the co-op closes I will order the beans and they should take about

a week or so to ship to me. At that time I will send out all orders.

 

All payments must be in to me by February 4th.

 

Accepted payment methods are: Check, Money Order, PayPal, ProPay, Visa &

MasterCard.

 

If you are interested please place your order at the web site

http://www.alittleolfactory.com. If you want to pay by PayPal or ProPay

during checkout just click " personal check " as your payment method and

write PayPal or ProPay in the comments box (please specify if the PayPal

Thank you!
