Ecoville offers an opportunity to disconnect with technology and reconnect with nature. Our sole intention is to encourage everyone to embrace a lifestyle devoid of excessive digital influence, and understand the science and magic of life and creation through farming.
Imagine a small, family-owned, and hand-nurtured organic farm, just 3 kilometers from the Balewadi stadium in Pune.
A quaint splash of green located within the city – This is what we are.
Everything grown here is 100% organic. We enjoy an abundance of fresh, chemical-free, and conscientiously grown produce. Sustainability, soil health preservation, the practice of reduce-recycle-reuse, conservation of natural resources, using open pollinated seeds, and implementation of traditional wisdom form the foundation of the concept called Ecoville.
