Enjoy a healthy farm breakfast with a probiotic kefir fruit bowl, sourdough bruschetta and pop soda from Pro Mojo, and a bagel, empanada and London chocolate cake from Lluvia Bakery, with freshly steamed edamame.
Your goodie: a 250 ml jar of pure honey, made by the bees you'll meet.
It's a screen-free morning of fresh air, real food and learning for children. Limited seats.
Where we started: our first farm ride
Last time at the farm: a cycling morning
Before opening the farm to families, we hosted our first event for cyclists. Around [30+] riders and guests from Bengaluru [rode out / drove out] to the farm, took in the open fields, and saw where their food is grown.
Everyone went home with an Edamo goodie bag, and many stayed on afterwards to rest on the lawn, chat and enjoy the fresh air.
