Oats & Ivy Farm

We are a small farm in Ventura County, California focused on working towards natural and organic farming practices. We are home to 70-something animals including Nigerian Dwarf dairy goats, chickens, ducks, turkeys, dogs, and cats. The goal of Oats & Ivy is to live a life of self-sufficiency, always striving to do better by the earth, the animals, and our neighbors while sharing, learning, and being part of the community.

Our small yet productive garden space rotates crops year round to make the most of the SoCal climate. We grow what we can to feed our family, the animals, and our friends. Organic practices are very important to us. We’re establishing new permanent plants constantly which, most recently, includes a new fruit tree orchard, berries and grapes. Diversity is what we love about this land and are constantly working to improve it.

If you'd like to see the farm, we can arrange to show you around while you are here. Depending on the time of year, we would be happy to show you how we milk our goats and tell you a little bit about running a small farm. We typically schedule baby goat yoga on the weekends between March and May.

Come stay in our Mid-Century Modern Ranch House Suite. Book the entire guest wing with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, and kitchenette. Bring your friends and family for a relaxing weekend of good food and wine tasting, or an adventurous weekend hiking all around Ventura County. Whatever you like to do, we offer comfort for your adventure.

And, are you interested in raising goats? If you are, we have two levels of intensive goat care workshops that might be right for you.
