About Us

Meet Your Hosts

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. They met in Kazakhstan while working on the same project. After marrying, they travelled and worked in the Middle East for two years. During this time, the couple frequently travelled to Hamilton, Ontario to visit Michael’s family and fell in love with Canada.

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

Our Values


We cherish a sustainable lifestyle, which inspired our move to the farm. Here, we are dedicated to learning how to grow our own healthy food and sharing the knowledge and
experiences we gain with our community.

Our vision includes inviting more people to stay on our farm, sharing with them the oasis we are creating, and teaching them about sustainable living and what it means to live on a farm.

We want every person who comes to our retreat to feel connected to nature. Whether interacting with our animals, spending time in our garden, kayaking or simply sitting by their yurt listening to the sounds of birds, we aim to provide an immersive natural experience. We offer:

  • A peaceful retreat for relaxation and meditation.
  • An adventurous playground for outdoor activities.
  • A social venue for gatherings and celebrations.
  • A romantic spot for couples to enjoy nature.
  • A family-friendly environment for bonding and fun.
  • A scenic location for photography and art.
