October 17th is International Real Vanilla Day, the most important date on the LittlePod calendar. The seasons shifting and autumn fast approaching, it’s almost that time again. Here at LittlePod HQ, we’re preparing to celebrate this special occasion once more. Like to join us?

Just over 12 months ago, we took a trip to Indonesia to spend International Real Vanilla Day 2023 with the LittlePod farmers at our collaborative orchard in Bali. Spending this precious time together was a treat indeed as we met those responsible for nurturing nature, whose ecological efforts and agricultural innovation have done so much to help pull real vanilla back from the precipice.

This October, we’ll be spending the 17th somewhat closer to home, here at our HQ in East Devon. LittlePod’s vanilla farmers – and those elsewhere on the Equatorial Belt – however, will be at the forefront of our celebrations again.

Dedicated to the farmers at the LittlePod orchard, whose pioneering polyculture system has been endorsed by the Indonesian government, LittlePod’s 2025 calendar will outline our environmental endeavours and detail the crucial role that vanilla is playing in protecting our planet, aiding soil health and improving the air we breathe.

Due to be printed in the coming days, our calendar will be published in time for International Real Vanilla Day. Like a copy?

Featuring never-before-seen photographs from the LittlePod orchard, celebrating vanilla’s value to the world and documenting 14 years of our Campaign for Real Vanilla, our calendars are available to reserve now. First-come-first-served, whilst stocks last, please email Paul at media@littlepod.co.uk to request a copy.

We’ll be sharing additional details about International Real Vanilla Day 2024 – and how you can get involved – in due course. In the meantime, please reserve a calendar, follow us on Instagram, and above all, keep it REAL. We’re looking forward to celebrating with LittlePodders all over the world once more this October…

It’s almost that time again!
