About the Experience
How a working ranch became one of South Florida's most distinct event destinations.
From Forages to The Ranch
Forages — previously known as BBQ Ranch — built its reputation on live-fire cooking and honest, farm-to-table food. The Ranch at Forages extends that same philosophy into private events: real ingredients, real technique, and a setting that doesn't feel manufactured for the occasion.
This isn't a ballroom with a rustic theme applied to it. It's an actual property with land, trees and a working kitchen, adapted carefully to host celebrations without losing what made it worth visiting in the first place.
Hospitality, Not Just a Rental
Every event at The Ranch at Forages is planned with a venue team present from first walkthrough to final breakdown — not handed off to a rental coordinator who's never seen your event before.
That means layout decisions, menu direction and vendor coordination all happen with people who know the property, not a generic events checklist.
Why Nature Matters Here
Open pasture, mature trees and natural light aren't a backdrop we photograph well — they're the reason the venue feels different from a hotel ballroom or standard event hall. We design around the land instead of covering it up.
See the Grounds for Yourself
The best way to understand The Ranch at Forages is to walk it. Schedule a private tour.
