Referred to as the “Indiana Jones of spices” by celebrity chef Eric Ripert, Nirmala Narine has built a brand and career on her love of prized aromatics from around the world. She’s traveled to over 165 countries to source them from farmers firsthand and has spent a lifetime educating people on how to incorporate them into their lives.

She’s a syndicated TV show host, author, and teacher, and the founder of beauty and spice purveyor Nirmala’s Kitchen Inc. With the rest of her time, she is a consultant to Fortune 500 companies on global trends in flavor, food, culture, and fragrance.

Now she’s adding to her spice world by opening her picturesque farm in the Hudson Valley to the public. And you guessed it—there’s a spice shop on the farm.

To visit is to be inspired to cook.
