For all the organic, free-range, straight-from-the-farm, and other buzzwords that sell like hot cakes in this city, we wonder how many of us even know what they mean. Not many, says child educator Dhwani Vora. “We’re all confined by four walls — offices, homes, schools. Let alone children, even parents have forgotten what touching soil or planting a seed feels like,” she says. At a private farm in Yeoor tomorrow, Mumbaikars will get a refresher with their children.

“Children these days have smartphone games that allow them to run a farm, you know?” Vora shares. The camp’s first activity should be a 180-degree pivot, if that’s true. The farm is home to nearly 10 cows who prepare for milking as the clock strikes 3 pm. Sure enough, the children will get a front row seat at the cowshed. “Since the cows are used to a routine, it would be unfair to let the children get hands-on, but watching it up close is just as fun,” Vora explains.
