CULTURAL COMMUNITY

‘In the spirit of reconciliation, The Salty Lime Co acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.’

Indigenous people have not only cooked with native finger limes for thousands of years, but have drawn on their generous antioxidants – being high in folate, potassium, Vitamin E and Vitamin C – making them great in meals, but good bush medicine too. The traditional name for Fingerlime is Gulalung, from Bundjalung country in the Northern Rivers of New South Wales.

The Salty Lime Co respects our relationships with the traditional owners of the land, the Darumbal Tribe in which we grow their Traditional Gulalung, from Bundjalung (Finger Limes) 

The Salty Lime Co is deeply committed to fostering a greater understanding and appreciation of Indigenous cultures. They strive to educate and enlighten our visitors by working closely with Indigenous communities and traditional owners. By building strong, respectful partnerships, The Salty Lime Co ensures that cultural education is embraced with authenticity and sensitivity.

Through collaborative initiatives, The Salty Lime Co offers workshops, cultural programs, and storytelling events that highlight the rich heritage and traditions of Indigenous peoples. These engagements provide invaluable opportunities for learning directly from traditional custodians, who share their wisdom, cultural
practices, and stories.

We believe that education is a powerful tool for reconciliation and cultural preservation. By amplifying Indigenous voices and promoting cultural understanding, The Salty Lime Co aims to inspire respect, inclusivity, and unity. We are dedicated to paving the way for meaningful dialogue and mutual respect between all cultures, honouring the deep connections Indigenous peoples have with the land and their ancestors.

WHERE THE LAND MEETS THE SEA

“To the shallow waters to the deep blue sea all creatures big and small hunting whilst living together as one, bringing new life and finding their way home with guidance of their Elders and connecting to the land and the water.”
