Pune city's families, students and IT workers look for short weekend trips. A farm stay on a working mango, fig or grape farm in Junnar, Purandar or Baramati can sell harvest days, farm meals and village life to them.

This is a small farm stay on a working orchard, with a few simple rooms or tents, home-style meals cooked from the farm's own produce, and activities like fruit picking, bullock-cart rides, village cooking lessons and short walks. Day visits for school and office groups add weekday income.
Pune district grows well-known produce. NABARD's 2023-24 credit plan for Pune lists Junnar mango, Purandar fig, pomegranate and custard apple among its signature produce, and the district's irrigated talukas grow grapes and sugarcane. Pune city, with its large IT workforce around Hinjawadi and its many students, is within a few hours' drive, and forts such as Shivneri near Junnar give visitors a second reason to come.
You need a farm you own or lease long term, clean toilets, a hygienic kitchen, an FSSAI registration for serving food, and registration with the state tourism department. The hard part is that harvest seasons are short, so plan something for every season, such as monsoon walks, rice planting in the hills or winter bonfire nights. Guest safety around farm ponds, wells and animals needs real care.
Most bookings will come through online travel listings, your own social media page, school trip organisers and office HR teams in Hinjawadi. Honest reviews from your first guests matter more than advertising.
