Nestled in the foothills of the Sacramento Mountains, along the Penasco River, the Tom and Pam Runyan Ranches apple stand has been in business for over 50 years. The stand offers a wide variety of gourmet preserves, jellies, fruit butters, fruits, cider and unique snack products. If you ever get the chance to visit we are located off US Highway 82, approximately 50 miles west of Artesia and 40 miles east of Cloudcroft, New Mexico. Runyan Ranches offers guided horseback riding, trout fishing, plus catch and release fishing for catfish and bluegill. The Runyans also have a petting zoo filled with different kinds of animals.
