Twelve months have passed since we celebrated International Real Vanilla Day 2023 with the LittlePod farmers at our collaborative orchard in Indonesia. It was an experience that meant an immense amount to all involved. It was one that is at the forefront of our minds this October.

Remembering our time in beautiful Bali has been made even easier in recent days thanks to the arrival of our 2025 calendar. Featuring the LittlePod farmers and telling our environmental story, our calendar was produced to mark International Real Vanilla Day 2024, which we will celebrate this Thursday, October 17th.

For our calendar, we are grateful to Ketut and the team in Indonesia, Wayan, whose fabulous photographs it was such a delight to include, and Putu, who helped to organise the farmers and co-ordinate all our efforts. We could – alas – share but a handful of Wayan’s wonderful images from the orchard on our calendar’s pages. But as we prepare to mark the first anniversary of our visit, we wanted to post more, to give an update and a look behind the scenes at our operation in Indonesia.

Twelve months on, we look forward to raising a toast to Made 2 and our farmers in Bali once again. To all those planning to take part this International Real Vanilla Day, we send our thanks. We hope you like these images as much as we do at LittlePod.
