Oasis Family Ranch: Farm Life and Animal Therapy in Knightsen

Tucked away at 11 Pastor Lane, Knightsen, CA 94548, Oasis Family Ranch is a small but vibrant slice of farm life, perfect for families, educators, and anyone craving a connection to the land.

Who is Oasis Family Ranch

Oasis Family Ranch is a boutique, family-run farm offering hands-on experiences. Their offerings range from seasonal produce to animal therapy. They’re home to Delta Oasis Goats, a nonprofit animal rescue dedicated to giving displaced animals a new start, all while educating visitors on farm life.

What You Can Expect

Farm visits & animal interactions: Kids (and adults) can feed chickens, ducks, goats, and other friendly animals in a cozy petting area. They even offer mobile petting zoo services for events, complete with staff, fencing, and therapy-focused interaction.

CSA produce & farm stand: From cherries and sunflowers to tomatoes, corn, squash, and even pumpkins in season, they sell fresh, locally grown produce right from the farm.

Farm therapy offerings: Oasis promotes mental wellness through therapeutic farm experiences that include gentle, calming visits with animals in a peaceful, country setting.

Why It Stands Out

Nonprofit rescue mission: Their animal sanctuary isn’t just for show. It’s a genuine rescue and education program under the Delta Oasis Goats initiative.

Intimate, curated farm experiences: This isn’t a large agritourism venue. It’s a thoughtfully designed, community-first space where visitors can connect meaningfully with both farm life and animals.

In a Nutshell

If you’re seeking an organic introduction to farm life, a gentle animal therapy session, or a fun seasonal outing with purpose, Oasis Family Ranch in Knightsen is well worth a visit. It’s a hands-on, educational, and feel-good destination with community roots, and it’s doing some real good in the process.

Planning a Visit?

Check their social media (Instagram and Facebook) for upcoming events, hours, and seasonal offerings. If you’re hosting a birthday party or community gathering, ask about their mobile petting zoo. It’s a hit for kids and adults alike.
