Welcome to She’s Rooted Home Saffron farm.
Located in the Southern California Mojave Desert. We are considered one of the largest Saffron farms on the west coast, with only a handful of Saffron farms located in the USA. Unfortunately most of the USA’s Saffron is imported from oversea’s. Iran being the largest producer, supplying 90% of the world’s Saffron. We have a very similar climate to Iran, which is why our saffron thrives here in the Southern California Mojave Desert.
We’ve finished the 2023 harvest season with well over 200 grams of the highest quality Saffron, grown in the USA on a small family owned farm.

Why is Saffron the world’s most expensive spice?
It takes a lot of flowers to make a little bit of Saffron. It is also planted, harvested and processed manually. In the late summer Sativus Crocus (Saffron corms) are planted by hand. Once the flowers bloom, they’re picked and processed by hand. She’s Rooted Home provides the highest quality and strongest flavor Saffron- The Super Negin grade.
Our hope is not only to supply our community with this amazing spice, but also to bring awareness to the world of farming and agriculture.
