5000 Commercial Corms - includes GST.  New Zealand only.
We are offering a unique opportunity for growers looking to skip the "trial and error" phase of saffron farming. So, we are making a limited amount of 5,000 flowering-size mixed grade Saffron corms available from our own proven genetic stock. Having access to 14 years of practical farming and intellectual property from us at Wynyard Estate Saffron.
 
What this means for you –
 
The Asset: Performance-Grade Genetics 
These are mixed-grade corms, specifically selected for their vitality. The Saffron corms include a healthy ratio of our Medium, Large, and "Super Large" corms. Every single one is of flowering size, meaning you aren't waiting years for a return—you are planting for a 2027 harvest.

Once your first year is established, we transition to an on-call advisory relationship, ensuring you have a sounding board for the following 12 months.
