Join this trail to explore Goa’s rich salt-making traditions

SALT OF THE EARTH

Curious about Goa's local salt? Check out Edricia Farm’s traditional salt-making experience on Sunday, May 4, 2025 — this time set against the scenic backdrop of the Chapora River.

FROM START TO FINISH

Participants will get a chance to trace the full salt-making journey — from channelling river water into salt pans to harvesting the finished crystals by hand.

HANDS-ON LEARNING

Under the salt farmer’s guidance, participants learn to maintain a 1-inch level of saline water, monitor evaporation, and help collect and store the crystallised salt.

DEEPER LESSONS

Watching the farmer at work, one realises how much these salt pans have to teach — from the intricate process to the final product on our tables, it’s a truly enriching experience.

SUSTAINABLE FARMING BASICS

Children and adults alike learn about natural, traditional methods of food production, thus gaining respect for sustainable farming practices.

CULTURE CONNECT

With its new Village Stories initiative, Edricia Farm in Siolim is nurturing a deeper connection with Goa’s agricultural and cultural roots.
