Have you secretly wished that your kid understands how seeds are sowed or how manure is prepared? A smart idea by Mumbai-based nature club, Heart & Soil enables you to accompany your little one for a visit to an organic farm at Bhalivali (near Vasai) this Saturday.
“The idea is to nurture bonds through nature. Through this visit, kids will enjoy simple joys of life and parents will also be a part of this adventure,” shares Nehal Shah, founder of this three-month old club.

Owned by Vivek Agro Tourism, a branch of the NGO Rashtra Seva Samiti, the lush green 12-acre farm is also home to emu, turkey, hens, rabbits and guinea pigs. It also includes a cowshed, a biogas plant and a bamboo handicraft workshop.
