Runyan Ranches

We happen to find this cute little zoo/ ranch on our way to Arizona. This is a diamond in New Mexico. Their little stand has all homemade jellies honeys. What can I say about this place? It is a true find and treasure, especially for families. What I liked about this place most is that they allow you to trout fish and you don't have to have a license. The kids can come and look at all the animals and walk around the ponds which are absolutely beautiful. The people are just so nice Pam. I got to meet her and her lovely daughter and husband. This truly is just a cute family I understand. Just trying to bring joy to everybody else. Do yourself a favor come on by and support this local family and ranch. I will definitely be coming back through! And what can I say about that amazing cherry cider? Get a dozen of them. It's worth it.

Locally made jams and other stuff is available. It was a fun, calm spot to stretch your legs during a long drive.

Sweet stop! A farm stand with local and homemade goodies alongside national brand snacks and beverages. Some gifts and toys to purchase to help occupy the kids on a long car ride. A variety of animals to view and interact with and friendly folks to chat with. Small but clean bathrooms by the camels were worth the snack purchase to support the local small business. Way better than any gas station rest stop for sure!

Amazing place to stop by. Enjoyed the animals, the ponds, the view, peace and quite and the salsas are delicious, beautiful jewelry. Will definitely stop by next time I drive by ☺️

Great to stop in and get something cold to drink real quick, and if you're a paying customer, they'll let you use the restroom. Bonus points because the restroom is right next to the giant camel animal in a pen. Also the gate squeaks like something out of a horror movie, and I love that quite a bit
