India, Dec. 27 -- Strap: From a lunch date with animals to brunches complete with tractor rides, fruit picking and sprawling open-air feasts, here's how you can plan the perfect outing when the sun is out on a cold winter day in Delhi-NCR. First buffet then burn calories with walks an tractor rides at Vasant KunjAfter digging into a generous buffet spread, it's time to balance it out. At this farm in Vasant Kunj, once the plates are cleared, guests can stroll through organic fields under the winter sun or hop onto tractor rides that loop around the property. It's a relaxed, unhurried way to walk off the meal while soaking in views of crops, farmland and open skies. The growing popularity of these brunches only adds to the buzz. "We usually have slots for around 120 people, and they get filled within a couple of days every time it's announced," says Mahima Virmani from Farm Walk. In a city that rarely slows down, this seamless mix of indulgent food, fresh air and farm life is what makes farm brunches an easy winter favourite. Kinnows & strawberries, straight from the farm at Asola, Chattarpur Winter fruits take centre stage at these farm brunches, with kinnows and strawberries becoming a major draw. Guests are encouraged to walk into the orchards, hand-pick the fruit, wash it on-site and bite into it fresh - an experience that's as nostalgic as it is Instagram-worthy. "Last year, it felt like stepping into a childhood memory," says Minakshi Sharma, a homemaker, who attended a farm brunch with her friends. "The fruit tasted so much better when you pick it yourself. This year, I've booked it again - but this time for our entire joint family so everyone can experience it together." A date with the animals in Noida At this farms in Noida, brunch comes with an unexpected plus-one -cute animals. Visitors don't just eat and leave; they spend time petting, feeding and interacting with horses, goats, sheep, rabbits, guinea pigs, donkeys and even camels and emus. There are hens and roosters strutting about, horses being groomed, and plenty of wide-eyed excitement - especially for kids and first-timers. It's less of a zoo visit and more of a gentle, hands-on farm experience that turns brunch into a full-day outing....
