Open Ranch Weekend

Hosted By:   Barbarosa Ranchers

Main invitation image

There is nothing like a spring weekend on our ranch; the grass is green, the oaks have just leafed out, and all the animals are fat and happy with their babies running around. Spring time is the best time for just about everything. We just walk around with happy little grins on our faces all the time.  We would love to put a happy little ranch grin on your face, too. To facilitate that grin, we would love to invite you up to the ranch for a weekend to experience it with us.

When:

Noon-ish May 15 till mid-morning on May 16th.

What are we going to do?:

  • Afternoon: Starting at 2pm, we will walk around (2 miles max) and look at a whole bunch of cool ranch features, like the creek, fields and our animals.  I am going to get excited about showing off all of this stuff and you are going to get a huge excited earful of talk about flowers, grasses, natural systems, food, nutrition (animal and human), and who knows what else. You will also be around for the afternoon feeding, so you will see first hand how we take care of our chickens and pigs.
  • Early evening: Potluck BBQ. We ranch folks will take care of the protein (what, you thought we would bring the salad?) As the date gets closer, we will coordinate what dishes people should be bringing and what sort of prep area we can provide. Also, plan on this being a BYOB (or 2) event.
  • Night: We are 40 minutes from town, so just let that inform your plans. Town has plenty of hotels, if that is how you roll. But if you are a camper, we would love to have you pitch a tent or park a camper out here. We think that this is the best bet as it takes all of your travel stress away plus you will be around for the sunset and sunrise.
  • Morning: Wake up when you want to. Breakfast on your own. Putter around for awhile – take your own self-guided hike, sit and read, or just relax. Then break camp and hit the road with a full belly and enriched spirit.

How Much?:

Hey, we are all friend’s here, right? No cost for the weekend, just your lovely presence is all we require.

I'll be coming with my 3 year old boy for the afternoon and dinner, but will not be spending the night as mom will be getting back into town that night. Sounds like a great time. Thanks.
