Hydaway Collective brings farm life to Ponte Vedra Beach

Posted

Tucked away in Palm Valley, minutes from the beach, there’s a place where the pace slows down. Hydaway Collective has brought something Ponte Vedra Beach didn’t have before: a nature-inspired gathering place for learning, wellness and celebration, open to every age.

Hydaway Hollow, the Collective’s flagship location, is built on a simple belief that time spent outdoors, in community and connected to the natural world, enriches our lives in lasting ways. Families, couples, friends and colleagues each find their own reason to come.

For adults, Hydaway offers wellness experiences, retreats and workshops designed to restore, inspire and reconnect. They trade the pace of everyday life for something slower and more intentional, with the natural setting as part of the experience.

Hydaway is also a refreshing alternative to the traditional event venue. The farm hosts birthday parties, intimate weddings, showers, family reunions, holiday gatherings, private dinners and corporate retreats, giving teams room to plan, connect and step away from the office.

Families and educators will find plenty too: homeschool enrichment that blends agriculture, horsemanship, STEM and the arts, an After School Guild, a 4-H club, riding lessons and field trips for schools and community groups. Hydaway is also the exclusive TimberNook provider in Northeast Florida and an approved Step Up direct provider, with eligible funding for co-op programming and riding lessons.

Fall on the farm

This season gives everyone a reason to visit. Harvest at Hydaway arrives Saturday, Nov. 14, a celebration of fall on the farm that’s open to the whole community. Admission is $10.

For students, there are a variety of camp options happening in November: Veterans Day Camp on Wednesday, Nov. 11, offers a full day outside caring for and riding horses, a live horse jumping demonstration and creating handmade cards for veterans. 

Thanksgiving week brings two camp options, each running three days: Harvest Explorer Camp, built around hands-on nature play, and Horse Camp, for kids who want to spend their break at the barn riding.
