Unique group gatherings hosted on a homestead.

Take your next meeting out of the conference room. Reserve a half or full day at Huckberry Farm — where groups step away from the noise, reconnect in nature and build real relationships face-to-face.

Custom-designed. People-centered. Outcome-led.

Experiences shaped to you.

We curate every gathering from the ground up — tailored to your group, the season, and the outcome you’re trying to reach: whether you are a leadership team that needs to get back on mission, or a founder group looking for honest perspectives from fellow peers. We bring your gatherings to life around a long table, guided conversation, chef-prepared meals, a fire circle, and the unhurried rhythm of the farm.

Huckberry isn’t a space you rent out. It’s an experience that stays with you.

A handful of ways to gather.

Huckberry Farm is a working horse farm and homestead in Central Minnesota where leadership teams, founders, and small organizations of 10 to 50 people come together for uniquely curated gatherings. Book a half day or full experience – let our team handle the logistics so you can focus on what matters.

Trust, clarity, the decision the team has been deferring
Perspective, reset, honest conversation
Connection, story, intentional ritual at meaningful milestones

Create space to breathe and make meaningful connections.

Picture it: You step on the property – stress fades and your pace slows. You’re warmly greeted by the Host with a personal welcome drink and tour of our 40-acre working horse farm. A natural, open landscape becomes the backdrop of your day. You gather at a long table set with chef-prepared meals and facilitated conversation. Egos drop and perspectives shift. Our signature fireside circle closes the evening, sparking connections that last long after the event has ended – an experience that can only happen at this pace.

The heart behind Huckberry Farm

The world changed during COVID. Work culture turned remote and connection went digital, leaving people feeling more isolated than ever. Leaders became more efficient at managing remotely and less practiced at the kind of honest conversation that actually moves things forward.

We looked at 40 acres on a hill and saw an answer to that problem. Not a conference room with catering. Not a wellness retreat with a printed schedule. A homestead. A place where people come together, slow down, and reconnect — with each other, with their own instincts, and with what matters.

“We want people to feel what we feel when we’re here — lucky, blessed, at peace. We’ve opened our home up because the world needs more places like this.”
— Founders Jim & Rika Smale
