Custom designed retreats can be booked so that small groups can enjoy cooking classes or just relaxing and exploring the Hill Country. Reconnect with some friends.

Juniper Hills Farm is the home of Sibby Barrett. Join Sibby as she welcomes you to Juniper Hills Farm and Onion Creek Kitchens. Sibby is a born and raised true Texan, spending most of her 48 years in Dallas and some of her childhood growing up in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Her interest in food and cooking sprung from some of these early childhood experiences in Mexico. The mercados, the street vendors, the colors, the smells, all left a strong impression. She also credits her father for a lot of her cooking style today. He exposed her to a variety of ethnic cuisines and shared his love of bold and spicy foods early on.

Sibby now brings her culinary passions to the Texas Hill Country. In 2001, shortly after her ranch home, Juniper Hills Farm, was completed, Sibby began facilitating Yoga retreats and cooking weekends. In her own "Onion Creek Kitchens" she now offers a full curriculum of cooking classes. She is currently authoring a cookbook of collected class favorites and has just launched a new line of food products under the Onion Creek Kitchens label.

Getting away from it all never gets easier than this. Located in Blanco, Texas, just a short 45 minute drive in the country from San Antonio and Austin, you’ll be unwinding before you know it.
