Marando Farms & Ranch
Marando Farms and Ranch is a working ranch, market and farm cafe in Davie, Florida, known through raw milk directories for raw cow and goat milk, with a petting zoo and year round events.
Marando Farms and Ranch sits in downtown Davie, Florida, a working ranch that doubles as a local gathering place.
The site leads with its farm fresh cafe serving old fashioned milkshakes, organic smoothies and cold pressed juices, a market championing local produce, and a petting zoo of rescued animals with weekend pony and hay rides.
The ranch hosts year round monthly events, free yoga every other Sunday, field trips, riding lessons, birthday parties, weddings and a summer camp. Raw milk directories list raw cow and goat milk, kefir, yogurt, cheeses, raw butter and pastured eggs here from grassfed animals raised without growth hormones or antibiotics, alongside CSA, farmers market and co-op programs, though the ranch's own site does not currently publish that product range. It is open through the week except Wednesdays.

If you are going for the juice bar or organic groceries - then maybe the rating would be a 4/5 but if your coming with your little one for the petting zoo, train ride, hay ride and pony ride - consider other options. Price was very reasonable at $5 per person including the lettuce but the petting zoo was small, not well kept or organized and even a bit dangerous. I saw the door to one stall open with sign saying do not enter and a goat inside and saw small children walking inside trying to feed it.It was a 15 minute max experience. We came early and came especially for the pony ride which my 18 month grandson really loved doing at another ranch. We were told we could do it at 11 am so we ordered food at the restaurant and we did a train ride while waiting. They should not offer a train ride until they update and fix their so called train - my grandson ‘s face said it all- finally went for the pony ride and was told you need to be 2- 8 yrs old to ride. Mind you, we were not told this when we entered and she knew he was under 2 as he had free admission. He has done this without issues at another ranch a month prior and his mom was happy to walk along side and hold him. He is the same height and weight as most 2-3 year olds. No signs or info on website regarding this and we left feeling misled and highly disappointed.
