Hot off the presses!
We are so grateful to be featured in two recent articles on locally-grown saffron. One, a beautiful feature in Eating Well by Helen Whybrow. The other, a wonderful focus on Vermont grown saffron in Modern Farmer by Sophia F. Gottfried.

Check out the gorgeous photos of one of our family farm partners, Calabash Gardens, and explore some of the recipes!

Wishing you a happy and healthy 2022
