Host Your Next Business Event at The Barn at Holly Farm

Location is Everything!

The Barn at Holly Farm is less than 25 miles north of Seattle located in Snohomish County on the edge of urban! At the heart of our 17-acre working equestrian farm we offer the region’s most authentic and intimate farm venue. We provide a break from the ordinary off-site event experience. We offer team-building, tasting events, dinner parties, themed events, award ceremonies or your employee company picnic. Our team of event professionals are here to design your perfect off-site event – from a team communication workshop to a sales team dinner in the ‘board-room’ or breezeway with a farm table dinner or a rustic elegant outdoor celebration. Events at our vintage barn inspire boldness, and ensure an unforgettable experience of the year!

Team Building Activities

We all know good communication leads to great working relationships and that develops stability in the workforce. Getting out of the office and into The Barn at Holly Farm brings team-building and corporate communication workshops to a different level. Our foundational workshops peel back the layers and get to the core of more clear communication. We welcome managers to the farm for a brief discussion on how we can customize our program to work for your team. Our workshops are ideally designed for up to 16 person teams, and we offer 4 hour sessions with a catered lunch or dinner. We also have a mini-camp experience for a ‘lite day out’ to lift the spirits of your office team and “Animal Encounters’ for a short 90 min session including ‘Shed Talks’ and animal education .
