    I love coming to Marando Farm & Ranch! It's such a cute spot. We usually order açaí bowls from the Zen Bar. They are so delicious. I also love walking around and grabbing some fresh items from the market. They also have a petting zoo, horses and plants. It's such a great way to spend the weekend.

    This was a cool experience to see a all natural farm store with a petting zoo. My mom and I tried their smoothies and they tasted natural. We asked for more honey and dates in the smoothies and it tasted better. We asked if there were any sandwiches or chicken tenders and the associate told me that you can only buy it on the weekends. They have a petting zoo but you will have to pay $5 to enter to see the animals. The gentleman that works outside was kind of rude to my mom and I. We asked to see the animals and not to feed them and he said that we will need to pay $5 to see them. Overall, this is place is really nice. The parking is free and close to the place.

    Its been years since I've been at this place which used to be the old Battens Farms where you pick fresh strawberries to make your own shakes. A fully operating farm with a plant nursery, organic market, petting zoo, boutique, hay rides, Zen Bar juice shop, bakery and even a made to order sandwich shop. On the weekends, the petting zoo is only $5.00 for a chance to walk around the goats, chickens and ducks. We took a stroll through the outer perimeter of the stable where my wife got the rare opportunity to feed lettuce to an eager emu. Lots of fun during the week when there are no little kids running around except of course the hairy or winged animals.

    Awesome experience!!! Sunday family outing. Fresh produce fruits/ veggies/ honey / eggs. Kids had a blast with ice cream and mini doughnuts. $5 bucks a person to feed animals which includes a half of romaine lettuce stock. Tons of plants and trees. Nice small family farm nice activity for kids. Staff & owner was very friendly. We will definitely be back to get some more fruit trees. Free parking

    During the fall, they have the cutest set up. Whether it's picking vegetation to use as props for your house or wanting to pet some animals or if you just wanna take some really cute pictures 100% recommend so cute. Prices are very fair, products that should be in a farm stand, the vibes are all there.

    This ranch was an adult playground with a petting zoo where I fed an Emu, yes an Emu, and captured it on video. I was impressed by the rare organic foods in the market. The Dirty Habit jars of lime and infused organic cane sugar was very interesting concept where you just add any spirit and drink away - but it was $25 a jar and way over my two drink budget.

    3.5 stars. We went to Marando Farms for the petting zoo. Parking was plentiful and you first walk into a small store, restaurant, and deli. We purchased petting zoo tickets at the register. The store was your typical farmers market with fresh produce, honey, etc. There's also a juice and smoothie bar. They also have u-pick eggs, pony rides, equestrian trails, and fishing. I gave it 3.5 stars because when we went, the petting zoo was small. There was no shade so most of the animals were resting. The sun and humidity was no joke that day, we could only stay out there for 20 minutes. This worked out anyway since we saw most the the animals in the small petting zoo area. I'm not sure if they closed the other areas, if any. We saw a horse, goats, and an emu. I recommend going on a cloudy day or even in the winter.

    Really nice selection of organic, fresh dairy and meat products. Vegan cookies are delicious. Live music. Chill vibe while you shop. Friendly staff. Will be back for the fresh eggs. Got what I came for, the raw milk.

    What a beautiful little farm! We decided to go as an interactive lesson for my homeschooled son learning about farm animals. It was such a treat to walk into fresh produce, readily available protein and the best green juice I've ever had. Surprisingly , there were a lot of people enjoying the food. The petting area is a bit small if it's not the weekend to ride horses but it gets the job done. Educationally , it's wonderful to be able to get up close to these animals and teach your little one about them. They also have plants fruit trees and herbs although I think the intense sun lately has been drying them out too well so they weren't in the best shape. I posted prices for most things I saw and was interested and I hope it resonates with someone reading this review!!!

    I love this place and so does the family!!! We came here for thr market. I was trying to find some raw milk closer to my house and came across here. And man am I happy we came. And I'm so happy we came with my son!! We didn't know but there is the cutest petting zoo behind the Market. You can buy lettuce to feed thr animals. They had tortoise, pigs, sheep and goats. My son had so much fun. And so did i!! Thr animals were so friendly. Oh and they did have raw milk so I'm coming back very often. :)

    Came to Marando farms with my wife on a Sunday. Parking was a little bit of a task but the employees were super helpful and after e a few minutes I was able to snag up a spot from someone that was leaving. We browsed the market and took note to come back for some local eggs when we run out of our store bought eggs. We will also be back to try out the açaí bowl spot which looked great. The ambiance was chill with many family's enjoying the petting zoo and pumpkin patch. We ended up finding a plumeria tree at an amazing price and we had to buy it.

    Visited this farm with my two toddlers on a Friday afternoon. We went to the petting zoo portion and were given a some lettuce. They had goats, turtles, ponies, Patagonia mara, chickens, bunnies and a Lamb. The market was very big and had many nice items both homemade and things you can find at a store also they had the smoothie counter which was delicious. We ordered two smoothies and they were fresh and so filling. On the weekend they offer more activities such as hay ride and pony ride and have hot foods. I would return again. The kids loved it

    The farm idea is so nice that you take in animals that people don't want anymore. The animals are…read morealso very sweet and friendly, ferrets are usually not so kind but these ones are so sweet. The baby bunnies are my favorite, and the ferrets, and the GOATs (Greatest Of All Time) are silly, sweet, and very friendly. Everything is set at a great fair price, not too expensive. The service requested was great and friendly. It was great visiting the rescue farm and spending time with the animals it was great getting to interact with them and learn about them.

    Well, I must have come on a bad day. Maybe the animals were tired. Maybe the staff were tired. I…read moredon't know. All I know is I felt like I was at my cousin's house and they happened to have animals. There were no directions or explanations...until it came time to pay. Now that part was explained perfectly. Honestly, I probably could have seen the same thing at my local shelter and saved $30. I'm hoping the money goes toward helping the animals, but it's really hard to tell. They have goats, plenty of birds, llamas, pigs, and horses. I wouldn't call it a true petting zoo because most of the petting is done through a gate. If you want a horse ride, you have to ask. No one offers or tells you about it. Everything looked like it could use some updating or repairs, and the overall vibe from most of the staff was, "Please hurry up so we can get back to what we were doing." A couple of employees were pleasant and helpful, but they weren't going above and beyond. They simply gave us what we asked for. Overall, I probably won't be back. At least my $30 went toward helping the animals...I hope.
