Rooted in Legacy, Grown with Love
Welcome to Krushipandhari Agritourism & Farmstay, a serene retreat in the heart of Konkan, where every inch of land tells a story of resilience, passion, and purpose.
Over 40 years ago, what is now a flourishing 100-acre green sanctuary was once a wild, uncultivated forest. It was the vision and sheer determination of Krushibhushan Dr. Tanajirao Chorage and Smt. Anjali Chorage that transformed this rugged land into a model of sustainable farming. With minimal resources but infinite resolve, they toiled day and night—clearing forest patches, building irrigation systems, planting fruit-bearing trees, and developing a farm that would not only feed people but also inspire generations to come.
Today, this legacy is carried forward by the next generation of agri-entrepreneurs Dr.Nikhil Chorage and Dr. Shamika Chorage. With a strong foundation in agricultural science and a shared dream of sustainable living, they founded Krushipandhari Agritourism & Farmstay to open the gates of their ancestral land to the world.
Their mission is to bridge the gap between urban lives and rural roots—offering immersive, interactive, and educational experiences that reconnect people with nature and farming. Whether it’s through hands-on farming, nature walks, or cultural workshops, every guest leaves Krushipandhari with more than just memories—they leave with a new perspective.
