For more than 50 years, Deseret Ranches’ environmental, economic and cultural contributions have helped stimulate the region and create the Central Florida that we all love.

From its beginning, the Ranch has worked in cooperation with other local ranchers, government leaders and academics to improve land management operations. In addition to the Ranch’s participation in regional studies, Deseret has served as a laboratory for experimentation and research in a variety of agricultural sciences.

The University of Florida has used the Ranch and its development as a model for students and visitors of an ideal Central Florida cattle operation, and the university’s specialists in pastures, citrus, production, soil, agricultural engineering and animal science have worked alongside Ranch management.

The Ranch is located in close proximity to the Orlando International Airport, the “Medical City” at Lake Nona, the Space Coast and Melbourne. Approximately 4,600 acres of the Ranch have been designated as part of the “Innovation Way” high-tech corridor that connects the University of Central Florida to the Orlando International Airport.
