Welcome to Stonewall Farms

About Stonewall Farms

Tucked just beyond the edge of Willmar, MN, overlooking the serene waters of Solomon Lake, lies an 80-acre estate known as Stonewall Farms. This breathtaking property boasts golden pastures, enchanting forests, and peaceful lakeshores. As you enter, don’t be surprised if you’re greeted by swans gliding overhead, deer grazing in the fields, and the gentle presence of the family’s beloved English Creme Retriever. Can you picture it?

Over thirty years ago, this land belonged to a young family who lovingly planted the pine trees and raised their children here. When it came time to sell, their hope was to find buyers who would not only cherish the land but also raise a family of their own. That hope was fulfilled in 1994 when the Holmgren family arrived. Their story is one of legacy and generosity. The property was sold to the Holmgrens piece by piece, as they were able to afford it, and the proceeds were donated to the Bible League. Today, stone monuments stand across the estate to mark each acquired parcel—commemorating the faithfulness of God and the significance of the land. Thus, the name “Stonewall” was born.

In 2010, Bryce Holmgren, an anesthesiologist, and Kim, a homeschooling mother of eleven, built the barn originally to breed Friesian horses. As the years passed and their children grew, four of them celebrated their wedding receptions in that very barn. Interest from friends and family soon followed, and the vision for a wedding and event venue began to take shape.

In 2015, their son Drew completed his degree in landscape architecture and returned home, where he and Kim began to dream bigger. They moved the horses and transformed the barn into a stunning event space. A second story was added, along with countless thoughtful details created with love by the family’s own hands. Today, Stonewall Farms hosts weddings, proms, church gatherings, corporate events, and family reunions.

What truly sets Stonewall Farms apart is the heart behind it. The owners are committed to serving their guests with love above all else—and that is their greatest asset. It is, without a doubt, one of West Central Minnesota’s most cherished gems.
