saffron cultivation

HERB HEAVEN, led by the Mir family in Pampore, Kashmir, is taking the region’s prized saffron to the world. By blending tradition with modern methods, they empower local women artisans, providing stable jobs and preserving Kashmir’s cultural heritage through sustainable farming and quality products.

Ramesh Gera cracked the code to growing the world’s most expensive spice indoors and is now training over 12,000 people to follow suit.

After retiring, Ramesh Gera started cultivating Kashmiri saffron in Noida, beginning the venture in a 100-square-foot room.
