gather
bring your people
Farm Two53 has been hosting gatherings since long before we arrived. The Knoepfli sisters, who built this place in 1951, were known for throwing the kind of parties people still talk about. We like to think that spirit carried over with the land.
The property is available for retreats, workshops, wellness gatherings, and private events. Whether you're leading a group through something intentional or just need a setting that does the work for you, this place is well suited to both.
Eighty acres of Alberta foothills, original 1950s heritage buildings, a saltwater indoor pool, wood-fired hot tub, sauna, and cold plunge troughs. The farmhouse sleeps 14 across seven bedrooms, which means your group can stay on the property together rather than scattering to a hotel.
The land itself is part of what makes it work for groups. There's room to spread out, room to gather, and enough quiet that people actually decompress. The Rocky Mountains are in the frame yet only 20 mins from South Calgary.
Retreats & wellness gatherings
The farm is a natural fit for wellness retreats and restorative gatherings. The amenities, the land, and the pace of life out here do a lot of the heavy lifting.
Wellness programming at Farm Two53 is something we're actively developing. If you're a practitioner or facilitator looking for a venue that takes this seriously, we'd love to hear from you.
Workshops, celebrations, and private events
Every gathering is a little different and we like it that way. The farm has hosted creative workshops, private celebrations, and group events of all kinds. We don't run a catering operation or a wedding venue with a package list. What we offer is the property, the space, and a host who genuinely wants your event to go well.
Bring your own catering, your own program, and your own people. We'll make sure the setting delivers.
