Get fresh, local and seasonal produce at Goa's first producer-only market
Homegrown & Homemade Market at Nuvem Goa - The vibe
About the Market
Many of us feel that the existing food system is failing us — as many of our food choices in Goa are negatively impacted by the use of pesticides, drop in nutritive value, adulteration, loss of foods and high food inflation.
The Homegrown and Homemade Market is a community-driven initiative designed to provide an alternative path for people to access fresh, locally produced food.
​
This monthly market is part of a larger effort to establish an Alternative Food System—one that places greater importance on health, sustainability and direct farmer-to-consumer connections.
​
The first edition of the market was held on March 15
at Laban D’Souza’s Farm at Nuvem - and attracted over 400 visitors. Laban D’souza is one of Goa’s best organic farms, has been a strong supporter of the event, and has provided space to host the market adjacent to his farm space.
Organised by GOACAN and Green Essentials, the market is trying to find solutions for the disconnect between local farmers, food producers and consumers in the local food economy.
​
We believe this disconnect leads to excessive pesticide use, diminished nutritional value, food adulteration and perhaps most importantly the loss of traditional foods and ingredients.
The Homegrown and Homemade Market provides a platform for Salcete-based farms and food businesses to directly reach local customers, and results in a stronger local food economy.
Enjoy a diverse selection of local produce including vegetables, fruits, and many other homemade goodies, and traditional culinary delights made by local farmers and producers.
