As the town is surrounded by dams and the western ghats, and Shyadri mountain range is in its proximity, water is abundant in Narayangaon and surrounding places. Farming is a major income source here. Farming mainly includes vegetables and sugar canes. But since last few years, farmers here are also trying for other sources of income. Narayangaon is emerged as a major export place of table grapes. Grapes from here are exported to mainly Middle-East and Europe.

Famous quotes containing the word farming:
“... farming conservatism, which consisted in holding that whatever is, is bad, and any change is likely to be worse.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“The measure discriminates definitely against products which make up what has been universally considered a program of safe farming. The bill upholds as ideals of American farming the men who grow cotton, corn, rice, swine, tobacco, or wheat and nothing else. These are to be given special favors at the expense of the farmer who has toiled for years to build up a constructive farming enterprise to include a variety of crops and livestock.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“With the farming of a verse
Make a vineyard of the curse,”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
