This is not a typical corporate offsite. Teams come here when something important needs to be developed. A strategy needs building. A problem needs solving.

The Barn combines a retreat environment with strategic workshop facilitation through Design Farm Collective. Bespoke retreats are designed around each organisation and what they need to achieve while they are here.
People step away from the office, emails and day-to-day decisions, to instead spend time working on the bigger picture, together. The Barn environment helps people think differently, have better conversations and make clear, intentional decisions.
Retreats can run for an evening, a day, or over several days with multiple accommodation options on site. Most groups include a mix of strategy sessions, workshops, shared meals, walks and time away from the table where conversations continue to blossom.
Our retreats follow a simple structure.
Sow — Explore ideas, challenges and opportunities.
Cultivate — Work through strategy, test ideas and build plans.
Harvest — Make decisions, align the team and set direction.
While each retreat is different, the founding idea is simple.
You come here to plant ideas, work on them properly and leave with something real.
Companies usually come here because they need to:
People often arrive feeling busy, distracted or stuck.
They usually leave with clarity, direction and a plan.
Good ideas need space.
Good decisions need time.
Both are easier to find here.
