Are you looking for a unique location to host a business meeting, training or planning retreat with customized activities for your group? Soil Born Farms at the American River Ranch offers a beautiful, rustic alternative to conference rooms or hotels.
Maybe you feel like starting your day with a light breakfast followed by yoga. Then it’s off to a planning session in the Schoolhouse followed by a buffet lunch on the patio. Head out on a farm tour after lunch and then finish up with breakout sessions in our lovely sitting areas spread throughout the property. However you choose to spend your day at the farm, we want to make it special.
Soil Born Farms is a sanctuary within reach. I was looking for a space to hold my conflict transformation workshops where people could feel off the grid but without having to drive several hours, Soil Born Farms was the answer. The schoolhouse was the absolute perfect setting to do deep, transformative work. It contained all the elements I was looking for: surrounded by nature, quiet, clean, light-filled, and plenty of space for movement with a group of 20 to 25. The staff was incredibly kind and accommodating and made each experience an easeful and joyful one. When I picture holding future workshops, I always see them taking place on the farm. ~Rangineh Azimzadeh Tosang, Solh Resolutions International
