Vanilla Producers of Papantla

The Totonucan people first domesticated the Vanilla plant in the area of Papantla. We get our Vanilla from a Totonucan Indigenous group in Papantla.

Certified Organic Vanilla

This association consists of indigenous Totonucan vanilla growers. The Totonucans were the people who first domesticated the vanilla vine in pre-hispanic times. Today they continue to grow their vanilla organically mainly on citrus trees. This system of organic production gives them several sources of income apart from the highly prized vanilla. They are certified organic by Certimex, an internationally recognized Mexican organic certification agency.
