Not to be dramatic but...
We think these companies made a HUGE impact on their teams by hosting picnics at the Ranch this weekend! 👏
🎉Saturday we hosted ScriptPro. This company used to host their picnic at the owner's farm, and they had to do it all: hire the face painters, inflatables, food, bar beverages, DJ, etc. And now it's a yearly tradition at the Ranch! We've loved taking the details off their hands.
🎉We were thrilled to host Community Choice Pediatrics for a 2nd year in a row. Fun Fact: our very own Madison Faulkner works there! We're extra thankful to have found our talented videographer from this picnic as well.

In 1998 Bob Faulkner had the idea to plant pumpkins on their family farm on View High Drive and Chipman Road. That first year a few schools came out to pick pumpkins, while others were loaded onto wagons and set out by the road. People would come by, take a pumpkin, and deposit $5.00 in the mailbox. The family came together to create an agritainment business that would grow and grow into the Faulkner's Ranch you know and love today! 🤠
We hope you'll make plans to join us this pumpkin season as well celebrate our 25th year of memory making in Kansas City. Can't wait to see you! 🎃
Please join us in wishing a very Happy Birthday to our very own Bob Faulkner! 🎂

Are YOU ready for pumpkin season 2021? 🎃💥 We know we are! It’s the season of planning field trips, stuffing scarecrows, and stocking the gift shop. What content do you want to see from us in the next few weeks? 👀
It all started in the 1950’s when Bud and Mary Faulkner began teaching square and round dancing lessons. One day, Bud came home from his full time job, only to find a group of women at the house shopping away! It was the next day that Bud found the location at 7914 Wornall Road to open Kansas City’s first square dance apparel store.
Thus, Faulkner’s Western Store was launched and for the next thirty-five years they sold quality clothing, saddlery and tack, and other horse related supplies. The store was more than just a business however, it was a place where their children and grandchildren would learn about the joy of providing quality service to those in their community. It was through these experiences that they developed an appreciation for quality customer service and found true joy in being a part of the family store.
However, in 1986, despite a deep love for the store, the decision was made to go in a new direction. At this point in time, Judy retired, while Bob and Dick evolved Faulkner’s Saddlery to incorporate the manufacturing of quality show and training equipment which they shipped all of the world. Today Dick’s daughter Lisa Gosselin continues to operate this business and her father’s legacy in the Arabian Show Horse world.
In 1988, Howard Benjamin happened by the Saddlery. Howard was an old friend of the Faulkner family and asked Bob if he would be interested in running the Benjamin Ranch. When Bob took a tour of the ranch he saw that Howard had gutted one half of the horse barn and was renting it to different organizations and people to “do their own thing.” Bob saw the opportunity to use this amazing historical landmark as a unique place to host parties and provide entertainment. With the additional help of Marilyn, Bob’s wife, and Christine and Matt, his children, the ranch continued to grow and produce quality events with a western themed experience. In the last twenty-five years that the Faulkner’s have operated the Benjamin Ranch they have produced over 8,000 events!
In 1998, Christine, Bob’s daughter was starting her senior year at the University of Missouri-Columbia when he called and said that he had planted pumpkins on their family farm at the corner of View High Drive and Chipman Road. That first year a few schools came out to pick pumpkins, while others were loaded onto wagons and set out by the road. People would come by, take a pumpkin, and deposit $5.00 in the mailbox. The next year, as Christine pondered what to do with her hospitality management degree, her dad suggested that she move home and “make” a pumpkin farm. While the thought of being a “pumpkin farmer” didn’t seem too exciting at first, the love of event production and entrepreneurship that she had learned from her parents and grandparents took over. 1999 was the official start of Faulkner’s Pumpkin Farm. Since then, the Pumpkin Farm has grown from employing just a hayride drive and some goats, to touring over 10,000 school children in the month of October and hosting thousands of families each weekend.
In 2008, the Faulkner family realized their dream when they bought and developed their ultimate event venue Faulkner’s Ranch. Located just south of Interstate 470 and Raytown Road. Here Bob, Marilyn, Matt, and Christine all “Pardners” together produce complete parties and special events for the community. Operating on the same lessons that Bud and Mary did when they opened their first store and that’s by providing quality service and look to make the customer’s experience as easy and fun as possible.
Food, entertainment, and interactive fun all in one place. Combining the Pumpkin Farm into a season at the new ranch and providing facilities to incorporate all they had learned over the past twenty-five years of producing events, the Faulkner Ranch facility is a great place to have a party.
