3 Reasons for a Corporate Event in the Country

A Corporate Event in the Country

The fast pace of the corporate world can cause its employees to lose focus of the real priorities in life. Company leaders realize this and often provide their teams with a well deserved break from office life. The goal is to stick with company culture, boost morale, and celebrate achievements made throughout the year. 

With that being said, the best place to host a retreat is in the countryside. You can always find something to do on a farm even if something is doing nothing. So, if a break from the corporate world is what you are looking for, find a country farm for your next corporate event. Let’s get into why Cedar Pond Farms is the best choice for your upcoming event.

Location

A location that is convenient for everyone involved is essential. It is helpful to be close to large cities, major highways and convenient services.  There are plenty of venues that require traveling to remote areas, but the guests end up spending more time behind the wheel than taking in the scenery. 

Cedar Pond Farms is conveniently located in Jefferson County and within a 30-minute drive of Knoxville and Sevierville. There are two major interstate systems that merge into Jefferson County, providing easy access to our Scottish Highland Cattle estate. Our farm is nestled in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park with two great bodies of water nearby – Cherokee Lake and Douglas Lake.

Natural Amenities

Operational farms, like ours, have animals, rolling green hills, and unique structures that make them stand out. The country itself will provide fresh air and a feeling of freedom that cubicles cannot offer. Barns and other outbuildings provide exploration opportunities which are one of the best ways to help you escape the corporate world.

Our farm features plenty of livestock, chickens, and other natural amenities that hold interesting backstories to tell our guests. With a large stocked pond that lies in the middle of the farm, you always have the option to grab a pole and fish your heart out.

A Relaxed Shared Experience

Corporate events often take place in convention centers or hotels, but that doesn’t provide participants with a break from the stuffy indoors. A farm out in the countryside assures your team will have a relaxing and memorable experience. Instead of carpet, enjoy the acres of fresh green grass. Revel in the company of cows and chickens instead of bell hops or convention directors. We are here to provide your team with a shared experience that will reinvigorate them, and bring a newfound level of productivity. 

Cedar Pond Farms offers the modern amenities that one would find in a hotel but with a rustic touch. Our Great White Barn boasts high ceilings and an open layout with grand doors that open onto the 30-acre estate. Within the barn, there is a kitchen, changing rooms, and bathrooms at your disposal.
