Shah Jahan (literally translated as King of the World) is named after the majestic mountains of Shah Jahan which are the highest point in North Khorasan. The city of Faruj where our office and farm are located sits to the north east of the mountains.

The mountains, clearly visible from the farm, were named after a famous Persian warrior who fought against invaders from invaders from Afghanistan during the 17th century. The warrior Shah Jahan and his band of rebels hid in the mountains before emerging to defeat the invaders and the mountains were named Shah Jahan in his honor.

Our farm was the first to start growing saffron in the Faruj area which has the perfect climate for growing Saffron. At the time that most farmers did not believe that cultivating saffron in the region was possible, our farm successfully started growing saffron and soon the entire area has started growing saffron as well.

The soil and conditions in North Khorasan where Faruj is located are ideal for growing saffron. This is mainly due to the soil being fresh as saffron has only been grown recently in the North as compared to thousands of years of growth in the South resulting in deterioration of soil quality.

The farmers and family who grow the saffron take pride in what they do and its our pride and joy to present this Saffron to the buyer.
