I am also growing a very small plot of saffron in Lebanon, NH. Had our first harvest this October from a planting in Oct. 2020. Looks like it does fine in our climate in an unprotected raised bed.

And saffron ice cream! Read the marvelous recent picture book by Rashin to discover in the author/illustrator’s story and rich playful pictures her own experience moving from Iran to Brooklyn of missing her fav ice cream flavor when going to the beach with her family. I’d like to try some : ) https://shop.scholastic.com/teachers-ecommerce/teacher/books/saffron-ice-cream-9781338150520.html

Yay for the Vermont farmers! Without them Vermont is New Hampshire without an ocean.
