SunHawk Farms was built as a model of sustainability and regenerative practices and provides an inspirational, educational, and playful space for authentic connection. Surrounded by untamed forests, lush with fresh spring water, and held in the abundance of a biodynamic farm, the natural beauty of SunHawk offers the perfect landscape for celebration. Whether it be a birthday party, eco friendly corporate events, graduation party, family gathering, or corporate offsite retreat, we are here to help bring your vision to reality.
It only makes sense to walk your talk when organizing a retreat event.
John Schaeffer attended many off-site corporate retreats during his 41 year tenure running Real Goods. For him it was always a major disillusionment to see solar and sustainability events held in fossil fuel powered locations and even in Las Vegas, the energy wasting capital of the world. It only makes sense to walk your talk when organizing a retreat event. All the principles that he and Nantzy learned in their years at Real Goods have come home to roost at the SunHawk Event Center. You will find eco-conscious materials at every turn, recycled materials wherever possible. Intelligent design of structures and landscaping, water conserving practices, and to top it off, the nearest PG&E power pole is over a mile away making SunHawk a veritable off-the-grid paradise.
We encourage ‘digital detox’ events
We encourage ‘digital detox’ events where participants leave their cell phones, computers and devices at the door (along with their egos!) and experience a few days of off-grid bliss away from the noise and buzz of the digitally connected 21st century world. SunHawk provides a place where you can swim, hike, commune with nature, gaze at the wondrous very clear night sky with no lights in the vicinity, and get back to your true self and the roots of nature. Feel free to bring out the drums, cover your body with mud, hike to the top of a mountain, and just let your true nature come free.
We are 100% off the grid and Solar Powered!
If you’re a tech company who wants to conduct a training retreat or a party celebrating their successes, we also have high speed Internet at 50 mBps and all the creature comforts and amenities of a wired homestead but without fossil fuels. We are 100% solar with hydro powered in the rainy season, and energy efficient in every way. What better place to gather the troops to tell them how much you appreciate their efforts?
We prefer to rent our entire SunHawk compound (Full Property Rental Package) for a minimum of two days or a three day (or longer) weekend.
That way you have full access to sleep 20+ people plus a few more if you bring tents. You will be able to access the lake, the dock, the island, the Bunkhouse and waterslide; the SunHawk Suite, the Rustic Cabin, the outdoor shower and sink complex, the bathrooms, the Red Barn, all the amenities and lake toys, the Outdoor Kitchen, the Hot Tub, and the entire 160 acres of hiking trails and starry night skies!
