Rápidos Chesibik
Gift of God, Cradle of the Queen of Species
Vanilla is a climbing orchid that is native to the tropical forests of Mesoamerica, which includes Southeast Mexico and Central America.
Vanilla was already highly appreciated in Pre-Columbian Mesoamerica.
The Spaniards knew the fruit that the Mesoamerican Indians used and they name it Vanilla or small pod, due to its similarity with the fruits of the legumes that they called pods; and it was at that same time that they sent it to Spain and from there it spread to other parts of the world.
At Chesibik farm we grow several species of vanilla, including Vanilla planifolia, Vanilla tahitiensi, Vanilla Pompona and Vanilla cribbiana, among others.
We sell Vanilla planifolia cuttings.

Successful vanilla harvest in 2009
Free Press
An increase of 30 quintals was achieved in this year's production by the community members of the Association of Vanilla Producers of Guatemala (Vaidegua), which for five years have been planting this non-traditional plant in the country, especially in the north of Alta Verapaz.
The first to sell their harvest were 11 producers from the Canaán community, El Triunfo. Vaidegua executives are astonished because each plant was projected to produce half a pound, but they managed up to three each.
