America's Heartland

World's Rarest Spice

An urban couple realizes their dream by moving to the country and growing saffron, one of the world’s rarest spices. Peace and Plenty is the largest grower and producer of saffron in North America. We joined them for the fall harvest, which lasts 6 weeks starting each November. The fields must be stripped of every flower, every day.
