園區第一階段採收，因為花期長達一個月，每條豆莢的成熟時間都不一樣，長達6~8個月的果莢成熟期，末端有明顯變黃的豆莢，可以開始採收。
香草豆莢如在不採收，會有裂莢的情形發生，進而發霉腐爛等，種植的努力心血，就白費了
採收後的豆莢，第一個步驟先用清水清洗，洗去豆莢上的蟲害、灰塵，之後紀錄重量、分級等
殺菁的目的，是要用高溫阻止豆莢植物性生長，開始產生香氣的酶促反應，我們使用低溫殺菁法，使用63~65度之熱水，浸泡2~3分鐘，結束後請將水分瀝乾。
Chef Wei Zhenglin, deeply enchanted by the flavors of vanilla beans, has devoted significant effort to studying the history and uses of vanilla beans. Through technology transfer from the Taoyuan Agricultural Research Institute, he began cultivating vanilla plants (Vanilla planifolia) and adopted a new identity as a "vanilla farmer." He founded the brand "Vanilla Knight," focusing not only on creating exquisite desserts but also on promoting the production of premium vanilla beans in Taiwan. Vanilla Knight has become Taiwan's first dessert shop to own a vanilla plantation.
