This last weekend we had an amazing trip to the Tanshikar Spice Farm, here in southern Goa. Chinmay and his family were great. They welcomed us with a tasty lemongrass drink and cashew nuts.
Then Chinmay took on us on a tour of their gorgeous organic spice farm. We checked out the vanilla flowers waiting to bloom...
He was terrific at explaining everything, even the children were totally engaged. We learned about pepper, vanilla, nutmeg, cocoa, and many more spices.
Organic pepper...
The highlight for our 8 year old was finding out where chocolate comes from! The Cacao tree!
He even introduced us to his bees...
After the tour, they served a delicious lunch with spices from the farm.
We even got to meet the rest of the family. His daughters were so sweet and beautiful.
If you find yourself in southern Goa, I can strongly recommend visiting the Tanshikar Spice Farm, it was a great day out, and there is a nearby waterfall and bubble pool to cool off in as well. Thank you Chinmay and family for a great day.
