Here’s a collection of frequently asked questions to help you! If you don’t find the answer you’re looking for, feel free to contact us!
How do you ensure your practices are sustainable?
We embrace regenerative farming techniques that focus on soil health, biodiversity, and ecological balance. By having a no chemical policy and promoting natural growth, our farming practices protect the environment while producing wholesome, flavorful products.
Are your products organic?
We are in the process of formally certifying our farm. This process can take up to two years to become official. Currently, we are considered “spray free” until we have completed the certification process. All of our products are cultivated following Canadian organic standards. We adhere strictly to organic farming principles, ensuring our products are free of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers.
How can I purchase your saffron and other products?
You can purchase our products directly through our website and selected retailers in the Okanagan. Be sure to check our instagram for updates on where to find us! We are not an industrial producer; we grow small batches and have limited quantities to ensure that our customers have access to the very finest quality.
Do you offer shipping?
Yes! We offer shipping across British Columbia.
How should I store saffron to maintain its quality?
To maintain the quality and flavor of our saffron, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place. This helps protect it from moisture, light, and heat, keeping it fresh for your culinary creations. With proper storage and handling, it can be used for several years, but it does have a best before date, because over time it may lose its potency and aroma.
Can I visit your farm?
We love sharing our passion for regenerative and sustainable farming! However, due to our biosecurity practices, we follow strict measures to protect our working flock and can’t host farm tours. Check our website to see pictures of the farm and social media links for announcements regarding off site events.
What recipes can I try using your saffron?
Saffron is a versatile spice that can enhance many dishes! We recommend trying it in risottos, paellas, soups, and even desserts. Be sure to check our blog for delicious recipes and serving ideas featuring our saffron!
