A Lovely Note And Recipe from Ruth Reichl
It was December 2nd 2024 at 2 PM, that I noticed we got many orders within few hours. By 5 PM, that day we had 156 orders in our backlog. And 10 orders ready to leave our warehouse.
Even we had Black Friday Cyber Monday Sale going on. Still this was not normal to get 160 orders within few hours.
I looked into our analytics, and noticed a link from ruthreichl.substack.com referring traffic to our website.
Finally, ready that link. And visiting a client at a local market, found the answer why? I could not believe, Ruth wrote about us.

Hello dear friends of Heray Spice!
It's Mohammad Salehi, the founder& co-owner of Heray Spice, reaching out to you with exciting updates from the saffron fields of Herat, Afghanistan.
For those who haven't met me yet, I'm deeply rooted in Herat, where I spent the first 21 years of my life. My journey led me to serve as a Local Military Linguist for the US Army & US Marines at Camp Stone in Herat, Afghanistan from 2010 - 2014.
I grew up in a farming family in Herat Afghanistan. My family like most other Afghans has been farming for many generations. My family still have 6 acres of farmland in Pashtoon Zarghon district of Herat. This is in the western region of Afghanistan.
