This airbnb campsite experience was one to remember!! My husband and I felt so grateful to be able to experience the ranch life with Frank and his family. They were welcoming and so friendly and still allowed us our privacy too which was nice to enjoy our getaway! We did car camping and loved the tranquility of the ranch in the morning! They ensured we had everything we could need and let us interact with the goats and horses and they taught us a lot about their lifestyle which was pretty cool to witness firsthand too. I fell in love with Pumpkin (a baby goat) and got to carry her. Their doggies are also such sweet girls and are very playful. We will absolutely be back soon!

We had a wonderful time at S&S Friendly Ranch! It was a delightful surprise to see their cow, Poinsettia, after hearing about her move from City Farmers Nursery. The ranch offers a fantastic opportunity for kids and adults alike to get a taste of farm life. My 9-year-old nephews were thrilled to feed and pet the friendly animals, including horses, ponies, pigs, chickens, goats, and dogs. Our guide, Alia, and other staff members were knowledgeable and helpful, sharing interesting facts about the ranch and its initiatives. Our interest was piqued by similarities with other community organizations we know with educational outreach, Taino Heritage Camp in Jamaica. Overall, it was a memorable experience. We highly recommend S&S Friendly Ranch to anyone looking for a peaceful, fun, and educational outing.

11/09 We came back to host our daughter’s 2nd bday at S&S Friendly Ranch. Diamond and Frank did a superb job with maintaining the grounds clean and communicating to ensure a successful event. Our guest had a great time, the kids enjoyed the open space and the petting zoo. This place offers an open space that can be turned into whatever you envision! There is parking, clean restrooms, and lighting. Frank and Alia went above and beyond with their hospitality and attention in our visit to their farm. My two year old had the time of her life interacting with the animals, while mom and dad learned a lot about them and about the farm life. Thank you Frank and Alia! We hope to visit real soon :)

This Ranch is so welcoming!!! There’s so much to do and so much you can do there. They have animals that you can pet, horses to ride and they have fresh produce (collard greens are my favorite). They host events like birthday parties, retreats, wellness events, poetry nights, they also hosted a western themed hoedown. This place is welcoming to all ages; it’s a great space!!!

Hosted my boyfriends 50th birthday at S&S Friendly Ranch this past weekend and hands down recommend. The staff Frank and his assistants are so helpful and kind. Diamond was my contact for the reservation and questions, and she was quick to respond and help me reserve the spot. The grounds are incredibly clean, and I have to mention they have real bathrooms, not porta potty's, which were so well kept. Lighting was great as well as parking. We had an area to set up the food and area for live music and dancing. I rented a large 40x40 tent from them that helped with the weather as it cooled down at night. There is nothing but great things to say about S&S Friendly Ranch. We will definitely reserve again with them for future events.
