OLD OAK Venue and FarmStay

Celebrate Under The Oak Trees, Stay In Rustic Charm

Working Farm Meets Timeless Romance

Nestled in the heart of nature, this 200-acre regenerative farm is an absolute marvel of beauty, harmony, and sustainability. From the moment you step onto the property, you're welcomed by the sprawling fields that stretch endlessly toward the horizon, dotted with vibrant wildflowers and lush green pastures.

The landscape is a symphony of textures: rolling hills dotted with oak trees, and a vineyard that reflects a perfect balance between human ingenuity and natural growth.  The farm operates with a deep commitment to regeneration, and it shows in every corner. You can see the health of the soil in the rich, dark earth that supports a diverse animal population, wild pigs and deer, as well as our own heritage chickens, turkeys, pigs, cows and sheep.

There's an unmistakable vibrancy to the land here, nourished by the practices of animal rotation, composting, and biodiversity conservation.   Wildlife flourishes on the farm, with birds singing from the trees, pollinators buzzing around blooming plants, and small mammals darting through the underbrush.   The sense of peace and quiet, far from the bustle of urban life, is palpable.  The farm's beauty isn't just in its visual appeal—it's in the experience of being there.

The air is fresh, the sounds of nature soothing, and the connection to the land feels almost sacred. It's a place where the rhythms of nature guide the work, and you can't help but feel the profound sense of care and respect that goes into every being of life and every thriving plant.   

Whether it's the sight of the sun setting over golden fields or the scent of wild sage growing out in the pasture, this regenerative farm offers a sensory journey like no other.   It’s not just a farm, it’s a living testament to the possibilities of sustainable agriculture and the beauty that can emerge when we nurture the Earth.

“Old Oak is the most beautiful and special place to host your wedding. The cabins are gorgeous, views were incredible, and Michael and Halli are incredible hosts! They have an amazing campground and property full of wildlife and animals, and right in the middle of wine country.  I hope to come back every year!”
