Vanilor in brief

Free to quote as it is.

Vanilor is a family vanilla farm being built in Bangkok, and the animated series that grows with it. On a 528 m² plot in the city, the farm will hold 1,000 vines of Vanilla planifolia when fully planted. Every flower will be pollinated by hand, and every pod will be cured on the plot.

The series follows Vanillin, a small explorer, across 52 one-minute episodes on Instagram and TikTok. It runs on the farm’s real calendar, so its last episode is timed to the first harvest.

Story angles

  • Vanilla grown inside Bangkok

    Most of the world’s vanilla comes from Madagascar. Ours will grow on one city plot, where each flower opens for a single morning and has to be pollinated by hand.

  • A cartoon on a farm’s calendar

    The series is written around the farm’s seasons. Flowering, harvest and curing will happen on screen when they happen on the plot, up to the first harvest.

  • Four crops, four characters

    Turmeric, lemongrass, cacao and black pepper will grow between the vanilla vines. Each one will do a job on the farm, and each one is a character in the story.
