Help Support My Work In Afghanistan! Benefit Spice is a company I started to pay for the work of Homestead Afghanistan. From now until January 1st all of our saffron is discounted for the holiday season. Gift packs and larger tins are Buy One Get One, while our 1 Gram Tins are discounted more when you buy two or three items. Every tin, or three tin gift set, is wrapped and boxed and ready for gifting. We drove overland to Herat to find The Best Saffron in Afghanistan. And we did. Our Negin (gold) grade is on par with any other saffron on the market today. Our Super Negin (rose gold) grade is brighter, bigger, and even more fragrant. Our Special Reserve grade (platinum) is simply unparalleled. The best available in the world. Why? Our grower is the only grower we know in AF, and we know most of them, who puts a crew of women on early morning duty, to harvest the saffron crocus the very first morning it opens. It is then immediately separated, cleaned, and pressed (vacuum dried) that very same morning. This makes for a saffron that is redder, plumper, larger than any other saffron out there. We didn’t just want to ask you for a donation. We aim to provide Afghanistan’s Best Saffron to the world; harnessing Afghan agriculture for the benefit of Afghan farmers. Something special and rare, with a 25% donation built into every beautiful box. (That’s revenue…not profit.) We are rebuilding our website, have a husband and wife team of professional photographers volunteering their time to take better photos than I did, and now we are developing an affiliate marketing program for 2025. In the meantime, please support Homestead Afghanistan by buying a gift for yourself, or the foodie in your life. Also makes a great corporate gift, when the usual swag just won’t do. The donation is built right in!

Force Multiplier… Apiary Edition.

Research shows women directors are less likely to adhere to board norms. Instead, they want the board to make the best possible decisions. Another finding? According to Harvard Business Review, women are not shy about acknowledging when they don’t know something and are more willing to ask in-depth questions. As a result, the presence of women improves the quality of discussion. Not to mention, more women on boards benefits the bottom line. Fortune 500 companies with the highest number of women directors reported a 42% greater return on sales. This is a no-brainer.
