Farm Retreat: Where Technology Meets Agriculture

An amalgamation of the worlds of agriculture and technology, the Farm Retreat offers a refreshing escape from the daily grind, fostering personal and professional growth in nature's embrace. A unique collaboration between Exalogic Consulting and the Good Living Trust, the Farm Retreat is an immersive experience designed to nurture high-performing employees. 

Beyond the Cubicle Walls - A Stimulating Journey into Nature's Embrace 

Nestled in the heart of natural beauty, the Farm Retreat surpasses traditional settings. It's a place where employees can engage in hands-on farming, connect with the land, and participate in enriching learning experiences. Activities are centered around the principles of DORO-DANGO, a Japanese art form that involves shaping mud into perfect spheres. This art form signifies the retreat's focus on shaping well-rounded individuals.  

What the Farm Retreat Offers: 

Exploration of Biodiversity - The retreat encourages employees to explore the surrounding environment, fostering appreciation for the importance of preserving our natural world. 

Rejuvenation and Relaxation - The Farm Retreat offers a sanctuary from daily pressures, providing time to unwind, recharge, and reconnect with oneself. 

Propagating Sustainable Living - Employees can explore the environment and learn about the importance of protecting nature. Through hands-on experience in eco-friendly agriculture, participants gain a deeper understanding of sustainable practices. 

Team-building activities - Fun activities strengthen team bonds, leading to better teamwork at work leading to improved collaboration and efficiency in the workplace. 

A Proven Success 

The Farm Retreat has already achieved remarkable success, with three groups of Exalogic Consulting employees completing the program in 2023 and 2024. The employees, who we refer to as Exalogicians, have praised the retreat for offering relief from stress, enabling them to connect with nature, unwind, and return to work with renewed energy. 

Hands-On Engagement 

Employees actively participate in a variety of farm activities, including planting saplings, cultivating organic beds, caring for farm animals, harvesting fresh vegetables, and processing fruits. This holistic engagement deepens their connection with the land and cultivates an appreciation for the farm-to-table process. 

Building Stronger Teams, Cultivating Growth 

It is more than just farming. There have been team-building exercises, educational workshops, and recreational activities like hiking, boating, and fireside chats create a collaborative environment where employees can learn, grow, and connect. 

Beyond the Farm - Learning and Development 

The Farm Retreat is a powerful catalyst for employee development. Employees gain practical skills and knowledge by engaging in hands-on activities and participating in discussions, enhancing their professional growth.
