Our Story

Having led fast paced, professional careers in major construction projects Michael and Assyl decided to create a life that will bring them closer to a more traditional way of living. Assyl is originally from Kazakhstan and Michael from North East England, meeting in Kazakhstan while working on the same project in 2014. In 2015 they decided to get married and follow work to the Sultanate of Oman in the Middle East, living there for just under two years. During this time they frequently travelled to Hamilton, Ontario to visit Michael’s family and fell in love with Canada. The decision was made to work towards a fresh start in the Niagara Region.

Riverside Oasis Farm was formed when they decided to trade their city life for a simpler, more wholesome lifestyle and they have never looked back. Although this was a huge change to their roots the farm and animals give them all the motivation to keep moving towards their goal to build sustainable life and farm for themselves and the community.

What is a Yurt?

A yurt is a portable, circular dwelling made of a lattice frame and poles and covered in insulator felt and weatherproof fabric. They are a sturdy, reliable type of tent. Yurts have been the primary style of home in Central Asia, particularly Mongolia, for thousands of years.

Our yurts are sourced from a Canadian supplier who believes in sustainability and tradition. They are mostly handmade in Mongolia with deep rooted links to the history of yurt living. 

Yurts are warm, breathable and rich in tradition, connecting the earth to the sky providing shelter in both rustic and modern environments.

What an awesome experience! We brought our 4 year old and she had a blast. The yurt was very nice inside and the animals were so great. Thank you to the owners for sharing their farm with our family

Despite the weather not being the greatest, we had a fantastic time. We were free to roam and spend time with the animals on our own. Our yurt was fantastic and we loved having a campfire. Our hosts were loving and very engaging. I highly recommend!!

Had a fantastic time on Halloween with the family (2 adults, 2 kids). Lots of room for us in the Kandy yurt which is nicely decorated. Lots of space on the farm for the kids to exhaust themselves (bring rubber boots). The other yurt was empty so we had the whole spot. Kids loved feeding the alpacas, chickens and goats. Very friendly and helpful owners. Grabbed some farm fresh eggs to go on our way out.

What a great experience! The Yurt is furnished like a mini apartment with a dining table for 2, extremely comfy beds, and a wood burning stove to keep us toasty warm all night. There is a deck where we sat outside with a cup of tea and enjoyed the sunrise (even though it was a cold November morning). The Yurt is located is a small family farm with Llamas, goats, sheep and chickens. When we arrived we received little bags of feed to share with the animals and fresh eggs! I highly recommend you give it a try!

If you are looking to try out a glamping experience - this is a great one to start with.Had a wonderful one night stay in the Kandy yurt on the farm. They were very kind and accommodating. The yurt was clean, had everything we needed for our stay - it was roomy and there was plenty of wood to keep the yurt warm during our stay. Being pup friendly was definitely a plus for us! Doing a farm tour was also a nice touch - getting to know about their animals ... it was great to see their love for their farm and their animals. We will definitely be returning in the future! Thank you so much!!

We had such a great little getaway to Riverside Oasis Farm. We were able to bring our dog and learned so much about alpacas! Michael was great at sharing information and being tentative to our needs. We enjoyed some farm fresh eggs and a whole chicken to take home! The yurt was so cozy and just what we needed !

A wonderful place for a getaway. We stayed in the Kandy yurt for two nights with our 8 yr old granddaughter. She loved spending time with all the farm animals and I had to make sure she didn’t hide a kitten in her pocket when we left..lol. The yurt is beautifully decorated and is very comfortable to stay in. A fun experience! The wood stove helped to keep the chill off. It was nice to use the fire pit for a evening campfire. You can tell that the owners are truly invested in the health of the land and sustainable farming. I like that the yurt lights are powered by solar, making us aware to conserve energy when using them. Our granddaughter loved being a part of putting the goats and alpacas to bed. We learned a lot about the animals and daily farm work from Michael during his evening talks. Beautiful setting with the river, nut trees, fields and orchard. There is a lovely trail to walk around the property. We highly recommend staying at Riverside Oasis Farm and look forward to returning.

My partner and I had a lovely one-night stay in one of the yurts earlier this fall. It was so relaxing (it was a rainy night and the rain on the yurt was SO peaceful). We also got to meet all of the sweet farm animals and especially enjoyed spending time with Barry the barn cat! The yurt is beautiful inside and had everything we needed for a relaxing time away. Definitely recommend!

My boyfriend took me here for my birthday weekend and everything about it was amazing! The yurt was super cozy and clean and was stocked with everything you would need for the night. You get food to feed the animals as well as wood to heat up the fireplace. The owners were super friendly and accommodating. One of the highlights of the day was when they took the animals into the barn at night and showed you the whole process. Overall it was a great experience to get closer to nature and also a good opportunity to learn about their farm, definitely would recommend.
