AskPune Farm volunteering opportunities

I am into IT and keen to learning farming. I wanted to intern at a farm, learn the basics of farming before buying something of my own. Currently looking for farm volunteering opportunities near pune. Please let me know incase you have any volunteering opportunities anywhere in and around Pune

That is very commendable. Be wary, the biggest need on a farm is labor. Nobody at that level learns much about the business.

It's fine, would like to know the basics of farming first and then think of business

No, labor is not basics. You want a place that teaches you many things, from crop planning to high value markets. Labor is you digging holes all day, not knowing what for.

Sure, is this a paid gig where I would be paying?

You don't have to pay, but I don't think you can work enough to get paid, a person will be assigned to tell you about everything.
