History of MacDonald's Ranch

From the beginning of a horse and cattle ranch in the late 1950’s, the Richardson Family is still working the land. Initially the spread consisted of 36,000 acres in the desert that is now North Scottsdale. In the spring of 1970 on Easter Sunday Old Mac Donald’s Farm opened to the public. The Richardson Family realized a dream of an operation that allows the public the hands-on approach to the ranch experience. It’s a place where kids from the city can watch a cow being milked, see live ranch animals and be in a natural surrounding while riding in the Sonoran desert.
