The Oak Meadow Ranch Experience & What We Do
All wildlife encounters at Oak Meadow Ranch are based on free will. Our animals are never forced to participate and are respected as the individuals they are — each interaction happens on their terms.
Remember: Every like, share, and comment can spark change.
By sharing conservation stories, animal encounters, and ranch experiences, you’re helping educate others, raise awareness, and inspire action. The more people who see about animals and conservation, the more people who care. And when people care, conservation wins.

WHAT WE DO AND DON’T
What we do!
We provide you and your family with a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, from gourmet food and the cleanest overnight accommodations to unforgettable hands-on experiences with domestic and exotic animals. Our mission goes beyond providing unique encounters—we are deeply committed to conservation. Through responsible care and education, we inspire guests to connect with wildlife and understand the importance of preserving endangered species.
What we won’t do!
We are a proudly family owned, for profit business. We won’t pretend to be a rescue, animal sanctuary, or nonprofit organization in an effort to mislead you. While some of our animals have been re-homed or rescued, many have been ethically sourced from reputable breeders and hand-raised with the utmost care. This transparency is important because some organizations hide under the label of a sanctuary or nonprofit while operating differently. We, on the other hand, are proudly a for-profit business, and our greatest priority is the health and well-being of our animals.
Why does this matter? Our profits go directly into providing top-tier care, enrichment, and specialized diets for our animals—many of which are rare or endangered. By supporting us, you are also supporting global conservation efforts, ethical wildlife care, and the protection of species at risk. Your visit helps fund essential programs that ensure these magnificent creatures continue to thrive for generations to come.
