2026 Summer Sessions

This depends partly on why you are coming to the Ranch. This is a mostly outdoor space in the WNC mountains, which means the weather can change quickly. Be prepared with layers, a water bottle, snacks and/or sunscreen. Each specific event will let you know if you need to bring anything else. It is a working farm. Farm appropriate footwear encouraged.
We have a heated indoor bathroom available to the public.
We accept venmo, check, and cash. Most events will also accept credit card payments.
There is ample parking on sight. Four wheel drive is not required.
Horses are big, powerful animals that form relationships just like people. When meeting them for the first time, you may do so with the guidance of Ruby Ranch support staff. Of course you may quietly engage with them from a distance over the fence.
The Ranch is a kid-friendly space. Unless an event indicates otherwise, all events are family-friendly.
At this time, we ask that you leave your beloved furry canines at home. This is to keep the peace and security of the animals already living on site.
You can volunteer on our community workdays (click here). If you have a specific volunteer request, or want to volunteer as a specific group, please reach out to us.
