Many thousands of flowers have to be hand picked just at the right moment then dissected to remove the three red stigmas from each one.
It takes about two football pitches of crocuses (more than 150,000) to glean a kilo (worth about £10400), with each stigma collected by hand.
The strands are dried on racks for 24 hours then put into storage containers ready for packing.
