WHAT WE DO
We use holistic prescribed grazing methods with goats and sheep for fire fuel load reduction, invasive species management, and ecosystem health.
Our services support fire-safe, fire-ready communities and are climate-beneficial — we work to improve public and private land stewardship by promoting soil health, biodiversity, healthy watershed function, native habitat enhancement, and sequestering of invasive species.
We are committed to community engagement, education, and training the next generation of land stewards working on the land with livestock.
Currently booking grazing and consultation services Spring 2025 in the Ojai Valley and Los Angeles County, California.

HATS! SHIRTS! HOODIES! & MORE!
We are selling our gear for the very first time to support projects at the ranch, like our Navajo Churro fiber flock program, planting for pollinator habitat & pasture restoration & development of our compost program in partnership with Rory’s Place in town!
We are aiming to support the purchase of a tractor… because every ranch needs a tractor, especially when heavy stuff is the name of the game to get our work done.
Be a part of the team!
