21.01.2022 What lies beneath... The Saffron Crocus lay dormant over the summer months, but with the change of the seasons, a fascinating cycle of life begins. Roots begin ...to form, grasslike foliage emerges and the beautiful flowers begin to appear. This little beauty will be visiting Grow Lightly in Korumburra this morning for anyone wanting to take a peek. See more

21.01.2022 The waiting game. Loved hanging out with these busy bees yesterday, sometimes picking just takes a little longer and occasionally I leave a few flowers behind just for them.

20.01.2022 Gobbled all too quickly! @oakandswan_sourdough saffron buns, made with our very own @hocuscrocus saffron, toasted and topped with @taragovalley yoghurt and @blue_tree_honey_farm honey AND all this purchased from our local @growlightly store in Korumburra #saffron #saffronbuns #yoghurt #honey... #breakfast #yum See more

18.01.2022 Hocus Crocus Saffron

14.01.2022 Baked Potimarron stuffed with saffron pilaf. Potimarron is a cute little pumpkin with a large seed cavity making it ideal for stuffing. No peeling required as the skin is delicious and softens once cooked. A tasty saffron rice pilaf makes the perfect stuffing - always start by infusing your saffron in a little warm water. While your saffron is infusing, sauté some onion and garlic in olive oil, add some spices, I used cumin, coriander seed, cinnamon and star anise and cook ...until fragrant. Add some long grain rice and the saffron infusion and let it soak up the fragrant spice mixture. Add some stock and toss in some pepitas, currants and chopped dates and cook with the lid on until the stock is absorbed and the rice is just cooked through. If you like you can fry up a little mince and add it to the rice mixture (or diced up mushrooms for a vegetarian option). Cut the top off the potimarron and scoop out all the seeds, then stuff with the rice mixture, drizzle with a little olive oil and bake at 200 for about 40 minutes to 1 hour, making sure the potimarron is cooked through. Once cooked, cut into quarters and dress with a some creamy feta or goats cheese and drizzle with pomegranate molasses. Enjoy!

12.01.2022 Better than expected - a cold snap and some welcome rain has put us back on track for another good harvest this year. The warm weather stifled flower production and gave us a little more leaf growth than what would be ideal, making it even more challenging to pick, but the flowers are beautiful with nice, robust stigmas and that equates to quality saffron. We will have good stocks of saffron this year and are currently taking wholesale orders from retailers wanting to stock... our pure, Australian grown saffron. If you or someone you know is interested in stocking our product, we would love to chat with you, so please share or contact us via email or phone [email protected] Ph: 0425703399

12.01.2022 We were lucky enough to secure a couple of spots in the @stringandsalt Big Pig Weekend. An awesome weekend of hands on learning where strangers became friends. Passionate, talented individuals freely imparting wisdom. Thanks to Dave, Michelle and Gettel from @stringandsalt Joel from @3jsbutchers Trevor and Colin from @hogget_kitchen Jodie at Happy Valley Pig Farm and Tony who showed us how to prepare prosciutto. A full weekend stuffed to the brim with amazing food, wine, educ...ation and lots of laughs. A big thank you to you all and the fellow class members who made it so much fun! #bigpig #chacuterie #homemade #greatfood #backtobasics #salamimaking

11.01.2022 Same time next year! This good foliage growth indicates that saffron picking season is drawing to a close. Time now for the Crocus corms to use their time of leafy growth to re-energize in readiness for another bumper crop next Autumn. Most importantly, we now have some time to give Gus, the most patient and loyal dog ever, some well deserved attention. It’s always nice to get back to some normality, but we will miss our little mauve babies greeting us every morning. ... The good news is, we have some beautiful, fresh saffron ready for the taking! @promcoastfoodcollective

01.01.2022 Here’s an easy idea to make breakfast Eggsceptional... Grind up just two to three strands of saffron add a couple of drops of warm water and add it to a quarter cup of good quality mayonnaise - you don’t even have to make your own! The tiniest bit of high quality saffron will go a long way. ... There’s still time to grab some saffron before Mum’s breakfast in bed on Sunday. You can pick up our fresh, just harvested saffron at @prom_cheese. Direct enquiries are also welcome @hocuscrocus or you can hop on to @promcoastfoodcollective where you can purchase everything you need for an #eggsceptional breakfast. @kilmorackfarm and @oakandswan_sourdough - a match made in heaven! . #ilikemybaconcrispy #lazycook #eggsontoast #australiansaffron
