The Ranch

Welcome to Rocking Ox Ranch, our family-owned ranch spread across 4,000 acres of stunning Santa Barbara County countryside. With roots dating back to the early 1900s, the ranch is rich with character—featuring original homes, historic barns, and sweeping hills filled with native wildlife and endless views.

Rocking Ox Ranch is more than just a piece of land—it’s a place to gather, celebrate, and connect with nature. We host weddings, private retreats, special events, frisbee golf, and even spirited pickle ball tournaments, all set against a breathtaking natural backdrop.

At the heart of our ranch is Blue Oak Rescue, our horse sanctuary dedicated to giving retired horses a peaceful and loving home. We also raise ethically cared-for, hormone-free cattle—and every dollar from our beef sales goes directly to supporting the rescue.

Whether you're visiting for an event, exploring the land, or simply taking in the peaceful beauty, Rocking Ox Ranch offers a one-of-a-kind experience grounded in purpose, tradition, and care.
