We are sad to announce that Farm Day 2020 has been cancelled. COVID-19 presented us with too many obstacles to overcome. We are so grateful for all the people that have contributed in the past and we hope that you will continue to work with us as we plan Farm Day 2021!!
On a more positive note, we are happy to announce that the future of Rocking B-A-B Ranch is no longer uncertain. After Dr. Buckelew passed away in February the Buckelew family was more than gracious to work with and give the Nelson family the opportunity to purchase the ranch. I, Josh Nelson, have lived on and managed the ranch for the Buckelew's since 2001 and we are so excited, grateful, and humbled to have the opportunity to keep the ranch alive and running.
It is our goal to keep the Buckelew family legacy alive for generations to come. It is our desire to continue sharing the ranch and using it to connect people with God, farming, and agriculture....just as the Buckelew family has over the last 40 years. We hope that you will support us as we move forward!!
We are planning some opportunities for the public to visit the ranch in the very near future, so please watch our Facebook page and/or website for future announcements.

😰 gonna miss it this year 💔

Congrats on getting the farm and staying where your happy hope to see you again someday

Will you continue to breed and sell mini donkeys? I just found your farm and have a special needs son who has his heart set on having mini donkeys. 😊

Good luck we will miss farm day for sure, my feelings in others I've talked to think that it's out in the air it's in the open that we believe in which covid-19 way up there and your county it's going to be fine it's not too late to try to have a farm day

So happy for your Josh. I had worried about what would happen to such a nice place and all the hard work you and your family have put in all these years. God is Good.

Amanda Dickerson 😢😢😢

So glad that the legacy of a truly wonderful family will continue! Congratulations and I wish you the best of luck! See you next year!

We are glad for your new adventure! Farm day has been a tradition for 14 years, and with a new Grand, we were excited to start another one, but, safety for all must come first. Many blessings and hope you are back next year!

Congratulations Josh and family...I drive by there a few times a week and always love to see the new baby donkeys or goats with my grandchildren. I haven’t seen any escapee goats in awhile but will call again if I see one. Thank you for carrying on Doc Buckelew’s legacy. How about a drive thru live nativity???? Maybe in the ‘parking pasture’? I’ll volunteer to help

Congratulations

As many of you may not yet know, we are grieving the loss of Dr. Bill Buckelew who passed away Saturday, February 8. If you've ever wondered where the name of Rocking B-A-B Ranch came from....it was named after him! The B-A-B stands for Billy Ansel Buckelew. He and his great family founded the Ranch in 1979! He lived an incredibly generous life that has touched and impacted countless numbers of people. He lived a life worth celebrating!
His family has started a Facebook page for all of us to help celebrate his life. Please join the page and share any fond memories or moments you may have shared with Buckelew that have impacted your life! It turns sadness into great joy to hear the many ways he touched lives. ... See MoreSee Less

Sorry for your loss.

So sorry for Your loss he was such a nice man ,we have be3n going for 13 years to the Farm Day event. It's such a nice day.

This an awesome place! RIP Dr. B

He was a true servant of God. He will be missed.

Mr Bill personally invited me to Farm Day two years ago after he answered an ad for free loquat trees on the Nextdoor ap. He was very adamant about bringing an unsaved person to farm day. It really causes me to think about people/families in my circle of influence that might not be saved reigniting in me the desire to be ready to witness in a moments notice. I hope that farm day will return as it is an excellent testimony of what God can do!

😢Love & prayers to you and the family at this time from all of us in Kindergarten at Liza Jackson! We appreciate his legacy & love for animals at the farm❤️🙏🏻 April Platt Amanda Johnson Sarah Dunn Hilary Ann

I’m so sorry for your loss

🙏🏻 I did not know him personally but can only be grateful for the incredible legacy he has left with the ranch. It is showing people that visit Jesus in action on earth 🙏🏻

Sorry for your loss! I hate to hear that news!

Laura Foster Debbie Streit Hughes 😢

As a hospice nurse, years ago, Dr Buckelew would require us to come to the office and talk to him before he would sign any orders. It always took up so much time BUT...he did it because HE cared for his patients throughout their entire journey of life. Dr Buckelew didn't just relinquish his care or stop caring when the patient needed hospice care; he stayed involved. Once I realized it was an act of love it wasn't quite so painful. Thank you for creating a base of healthcare in the Ft Walton Beach area. I moved here in 1983 and he and Magnolia were one of two of the main clinics that most locals went to. You will be missed, Sir. I do hope Farm Day continues, in his memory.

❤️RIP sweet Dr B

He was my Dr. when I first moved here in 1986. Then we started coming to Farm Day 16 years ago. He was a wonderful man, and we will continue Farm day as long as it goes. It is a tradition for our granddaughters (and we have a new one, 6 months) that we will start with her.

I'd like so say this family touched my life by inviting a community into their life for a day. I looked forward to sharing your farm with my grands. Blessings to this family.

Leaving a Legacy of love of God and our Community. Prayers for family and friends.

Oh no! So sad to hear this. Such a sweet man and family!

A wonderful man! Rest in peace fine Sir. ❤

Awe!

Our sincerest condolences to Dr. Buckelew's family for their loss! Dr. Buckelew was a wonderful man and will be deeply missed by all. Our UPA conventions at his ranch were out of this world!! We pray for god's healing hand for Josh Nelson, his family, and Dr. Buckelew's family in their time of need.
