About Sweet Simplicity Vanilla Co.
How We Got Started:
About 13 years ago, my Nina (grandmother) and Auntie Debbie gave me and my husband a bottle of homemade vanilla extract for Christmas. At the time, I never even knew you could make vanilla extract! Once I tried it in my homemade chocolate chip cookies, it was a game changer! Adding this pure, delicious vanilla really stepped up the flavor of my cookies and took them to a whole new level!
Since then, my family and I have been making our own pure vanilla extract for all of our baking and flavoring needs, and it really makes such a difference in taste! In 2024, we decided to share the love of our vanilla by gaining proper licensing, prepping our first small batch for several months, packaging it in our beautiful rose gold bottles and stocking the shelves of local farm stores for the community to enjoy!
Over the past couple of years, our pure vanilla extract has received so much love from local customers that we have decided to introduce a new item made with the same amazingly fragrant, hand picked Madagascar Bourbon vanilla beans - vanilla bean sugar!
Besides my chocolate chip cookies, our family's favorite recipes with our pure vanilla extract and vanilla bean sugar are my husband Eric's famous homemade waffles, frosting for funfetti pancakes, and homemade ice cream!
We hope you enjoy our handmade pure vanilla extract and vanilla bean sugar as much as we do!
With love and thanks,
