Experience the Wonders of our Agritourism Business

Beyond the fields, beyond the barn, beyond ordinary weekends… lies Golden Creek Ranch. Here, families reconnect under open skies, kids tumble through sun-dappled pastures, and memories bloom brighter than sunflowers. Join us!

Agriculture + Tourism = Agritourism

Florida's two largest industries combine

Agritourism combines agriculture and tourism, inviting visitors to farms and ranches for entertainment, education, and sometimes even to buy fresh produce or locally-raised products. It offers a unique way to experience rural life, support local agriculture, and gain a deeper appreciation for where our food comes from.

Golden Creek Ranch isn’t just a destination; it’s an invitation to rediscover the simple joys of life. Breathe in the fresh Florida air, wander through sun-kissed fields, and connect with the rhythm of nature. Ditch the city’s clamor and trade it for the symphony of chirping birds and rustling leaves.

Whether you crave hands-on experiences like feeding our friendly horse Whiskey, seeking relaxation under the starlit sky, or learning about grass fed beef, we have something for you. Explore hidden trails or gather around a crackling bonfire sharing stories.

Here, at Golden Creek Ranch, memories bloom like wildflowers. Let us help you have an experience you’ll cherish long after you return home.

Voices from the Ranch Real Stories from Our Visitors

We strive to be welcoming, educational, and the authenticity of the farm life left our guests with memories they’ll cherish forever. This place is a true testament to the beauty of nature and the joys of simple living.

What an adorable place. My husband and I came here for our wedding anniversary. I can't say enough good things about this place. I was pleasantly surprised to be greeted by a horse about 10 ft from the front door. We enjoyed all the animals and they're very friendly. The RV was clean and spacious. Had plenty of appliances and utensils for cooking. Def would recommend coming here for a peaceful time.

My husband and I stayed here for a short weekend getaway and we didn’t want to leave! This is the perfect place to relax and restore. You’ll feel like you’re ’far away’ from the rest of the world but there’s a Publix and other shops & stuff within a 10-15 minute drive. We brought food in so we wouldn’t have to leave the house once we got there. We wanted to be able to soak up every minute of the beautiful, peaceful bliss that this property offers! We spent most of our time simply reading and relaxing on the covered patio. We were lucky to have perfect Florida weather when we went in February. We also walked around the fields, the huge oak trees with Spanish moss, and the family’s small farm with sweet animals. Honestly, staying here was heaven and we definitely want to return!!

Very nice and professional had a great time at this ranch. All animals were petting friendly and a great experience. They have a pool and an outside sports center. Loads of things to do here at the ranch. They even have a walking trail but make sure to bring bug spray regardless of where you go. 11/10

We loved the beautiful, peaceful location! The host gave us a warm welcome and made it clear from our arrival, that if there was anything that we needed, to just ask. The place had everything that we needed. Hopefully, we can stay again in the near future.

Our Story

Golden Creek Ranch was established in 2020 by Ezequiel and Karen de Andrade, driven by a passion for agriculture and a desire to reconnect with the land. They envisioned a place where visitors could experience the magic of farm life, appreciate the bounty of nature, and learn about agriculture practices.

The ranch, originally a neglected property, has been lovingly restored over the years. Once overgrown pastures now bloom with vibrant gardens, where animals have found a safe haven within our fences. From gentle giants like our Angus cows to playful flocks of poultry, Golden Creek Ranch is a haven for a diverse range of creatures.

Golden Creek Ranch goes beyond just being a ranch. We offer visitors the opportunity to:

  • Immerse themselves in agritourism: Learn about farming practices, participate in hands-on workshops, and witness the journey from seed to harvest.
  • Elevate your next celebration: Golden Creek Ranch offers unique venues and personalized touches for a truly unforgettable experience.
  • Create lasting memories: Explore our scenic trails, participate in educational programs, and bond with nature in a peaceful environment.

Golden Creek Ranch is more than just a destination; it’s a journey of discovery and a commitment to keeping the ranch life alive. Join us and experience the magic of nature firsthand!
