Restoration Oaks Ranch… is a privately owned Retreat Center, Blueberry Farm, and working Cattle Ranch located in the Santa Ynez Valley*, just 25 miles north of Santa Barbara, California. The ranch is just under 1,000 acres with native plants and wildlife, hundreds of oaks and sycamores, creeks, ponds, and blueberry fields. Roads and trails provide access to most of the ranch, and are sometimes shared with the occasional cow—enjoying the grass, and lounging in the sun. Working with the State of California, and representatives from local environmental agencies, we have been restoring Restoration Oaks Ranch for some time now. The ranch was once known as the most efficient and profitable cattle ranch in California, and by renewing the landscape, and bringing new life to the creeks, ponds, and natural springs, the owners have helped make the ranch, healthy and beautiful again. *The mountains at the back of the property overlook Santa Ynez Valley and beyond.
