Guided farm walk
Walk through the working chikoo orchard and nursery with a guide. What you can see—new growth, fruit, propagation or water work—changes with the season and the farm’s daily rhythm.
Experiences
Get to know the farm by doing.
Walk the orchard with a guide, listen to the people who work here and try a rural skill or creative workshop. We will help choose activities that suit your visit.
Follow your curiosity.
Warli art and rural skills
Try a session connected to local art or rural skills, such as Warli art or pottery when available. Tell us who is coming and what they would enjoy; the particular workshop is confirmed for your visit.
The botanical garden
See some of the plants growing here and continue exploring them in the online botanical library. Our plant guide is for learning about the collection, not for medical advice.
A meal together
Sit down to home-cooked Maharashtrian food at the farm. Your package or group visit plan sets out which meals are included. The dishes are decided on the day you arrive, based on what is available.
Activities vary by season, weather, group and package. We will confirm what is included before your visit.
What you’ll discover on the walk
A guided walk through the working farm, told through questions. The answers are on the tour; what you see depends on the season and the farm’s work that day.
Why are some of our oldest chikoo trees kept so short?
Look up at the canopy in the orchard, and ask the guide how the trees were brought down to size.
Why keep bees and take almost no honey?
The bee boxes in the orchard have a job that matters more to the fruit than to the kitchen.
How does one tree carry the fruit of another?
In the government-registered nursery, see how chikoo and mango plants are grafted and raised.
Which of these leaves ends up in a cup of tea?
Crush, smell and compare aromatic leaves and grasses, from curry leaf to lemongrass and citronella.
Where does a 3-crore-litre pond get its water?
Follow the rain past three check dams to the lined farm pond and back into the ground.
Why do some of our fish live in tanks?
Compare fish raised in the orchard canals with those in tanks where the water temperature is controlled.
Meet Tarpa
The Tarpa, a traditional Warli wind instrument, gives its name to Save Farm's agro-tourism initiative. Explore the connection between farming, local culture and the people who have shaped this place.
Build a visit around what matters to you.
You do not need to fit every experience into one trip. Tell us the ages, interests and pace of your party, and we will discuss what the farm can offer on your date.
For curious children and students
An orchard or nursery walk can connect classroom questions with what is growing. Share the age group and learning topic in advance; any demonstration or workshop needs confirmation.
For families and mixed-age groups
A guided walk and a shared meal can anchor the visit. Ask which creative or rural skill session would suit the people coming with you.
For guests who want a gentler pace
Tell us about walking distance, seating and access needs. We can discuss an appropriate route and available activities before you travel.
Frequently asked questions
Is the guided farm walk included?
The guided farm tour is listed in our overnight packages. For a group day visit, we will confirm the programme and inclusions when you enquire.
Can children take part?
Many farm walks and creative activities suit families. Tell us the ages of your guests so we can suggest an appropriate programme.
Are workshops available every day?
Workshop availability can change. Please mention the activities you are interested in when planning your visit.
Can we see chikoo grafting or pick fruit?
Both depend on the season and farm work happening during your visit. Ask in advance if either matters to your group; a farm tour does not guarantee a demonstration or fruit picking.
Are there activities for senior guests?
Tell us the preferred walking pace, seating and access needs. We can discuss a suitable farm visit and confirm what is possible for your date.
