Whether you call it an on-farm vacation, agritourism or farm stay, the opportunity to lodge overnight and experience life on a working farm has become increasingly popular.
Farm Stay represent everything from peaceful, pastoral scenery viewed from the front porch to reconnecting with the natural world, dining on fresh, farm-raised food, and hands-on agriculture education.
Sharing the farm lifestyle with people who want to experience rural living without having to buy their own farm, and just being on a farm is good for one’s soul.”
“A lot of people think they pay to stay and have to work besides. That is one of the biggest misconceptions yet to overcome.
People should know they can just relax, sit on the porch and breathe, or choose to feed the animals or join us for whatever chores need doing.
“Families especially grab the chance to help and create special memories with their children.”
Complete relaxation and a break from life. The best thing about a farm is that it is isolated with a lot of privacy and peace. It is nature-oriented, perfect for anyone who seeks a detox from their daily city routine. It is ideal for people who are office-goers with high stress levels. You can’t hear any sound except the birds and the breeze, which really clears your head off any worries.”
Domestic holidays for Indians have always meant one of two things: Heading for the sea or mountains. But prompted by the desire to connect with one’s roots, experience a closer brush with nature, get a taste of rural living, and step into a world far removed from the concrete jungle of city life, Indians are discovering the delights of rural or farm stays.
For travelers on a budget, homestays and farmstays can be a real bargain over hotels and other types of accommodation, particularly for long-term travel. Many hosts choose to have guests in their home not only to supplement their income but also because they simply enjoy meeting travelers from around the world; profit is often not their primary motive (and some hosts make no profit at all).
