If you had told me five years ago that I'd own a farm with nearly 100 animals and start a business sharing this joy with others, I would have laughed. Yet here we are!
Rancho Chikiito began as a small hobby farm after I was gifted a baby cow for my birthday (yes, I’m obsessed with cows). What started with a few animals quickly grew into a bustling farm, and I fell in love with the lifestyle. Sharing this joy on social media led to an even bigger dream: bringing the farm to YOU. And so, Rancho Chikiito's Mobile Petting Zoo was born.

Rancho Chikiito (pronounced Rahn-cho Chee-kee-toe) is a nod to my Mexican roots and my childhood nickname, "Chikii Vale." Our name, meaning "little ranch," reflects our mission to bring the charm and warmth of a small farm to your special events.

Thanks so much for the awesome job you all did for my daughter's party. It was the best day ever (excluding the heat). It was truly so much fun for all the kids and I can't thank you enough.
