Homestyle Cooking at an Organic Rice Farm in Goa

このクラスについて

Immerse yourself into a hands-on, farm-to-table experience with our unique cooking classes set on our agricultural farm.

You'll get to pick fresh vegetables right from the farm (depending on the season), cook them on the spot, use local spices, and eat on a banana leaf. You will learn old cooking techniques, using banana leaves to wrap food, smoking food in rice straws, clay pot cooking, etc.; connecting you with time-honored methods.

Feel the coziness of an open fire as you prepare and enjoy the flavors of a farm-fresh meal that you've created. Join us for an unforgettable culinary journey that highlights the beauty of local and sustainable cooking practices, celebrating the essence of food that comes straight from the source. It's an opportunity to immerse yourself in the farm's surroundings and learn skills that bring you closer to the roots of authentic, delicious cuisine.

We do not offer a set menu but decide on the menu depending on the harvest of the day.
