We have a few of these, my fav being Walnut Creek...a great learning experience for the kids.

Also, the emu is cool.
Llamas were a hot biz-op a decade ago, and we have one right down the road a couple of miles.
When I was trying out my own Jerky making, I thought Ostrich was one of the better tasting, less chewy meats used.
Too much work for me, but I do admire the homesteaders.

But another use for ostriches is for fun - kids love them, and can go on ostrich rides (adults too)! So an ostrich ranch can be a tourism magnet...
Which brings me to the real news - that there is an ostrich ranch for sale!
They are actually selling the ostriches and the business operation - but they want to hang on to their land. However, anyone who has rural land could look into this opportunity...
The current ranch is in Tehachapi, around 35 miles southeast of Bakersfield, California.
You learn something new every day...
