Overview
20-acre nonprofit homestead farm offering pasture-raised meat, heritage eggs, goat cheese, and farm-made goods
Gaia Farm is a 20-acre nonprofit homestead nestled along Refugio Canyon on the Gaviota Coast, operated by first-generation farmers. The farm raises heritage-breed livestock including Nigerian Dwarf Goats, Jacob Sheep, Dexter Cows, Berkshire x Red Wattle hogs, and a range of poultry. Its farm stand offers pork and beef cuts, ground sausage, bacon, whole poultry, goat meat, heritage eggs (chicken, duck, and quail), and goat milk chevre in several flavors. Pantry items include bone broth, leaf lard, granola, and house-made BBQ sauces and seasonings. The farm also produces goat milk soaps, lotions, tallow balms, and candles. Visitors are welcome by appointment, and products are also available at select local markets.
Gaia Farm describes its animal philosophy as rooted in reciprocity, connection, and sustainability, with a goal of building sustainable habitats and providing diverse diets for its animals. Livestock are fed forage alongside spent grain from a local brewery, vegetables from Pacific Pickle Works, and alfalfa and timothy hay from Santa Ynez Feed. Dexter cows also receive blemished vegetables from Tutti Frutti Farm. The farm describes its products as organic, free-ranging, and seasonal. Heritage poultry breeds, including Freedom Ranger chickens and Heritage White Turkeys, are raised to grow at a natural pace. When animals are harvested, the farm's stated practice is to take the whole animal with efficiency and minimize waste. Goat cheese is made on-farm from the milk of the Nigerian Dwarf Goat herd.
