THE RUBY RANCH
About The Ruby Ranch
The Ruby Ranch is a working farm and horse boarding facility. It is a place to connect, grow and cultivate community, food, plants and a sense of peace and empowerment. We bring together music, art, good food, education and so much more to this land that has held so many in the past and will continue to do so, nourishingly, into the future. In 2025, we offer a greenhouse event space and a covered barn event space. We offer classes, workshops and a small event space as well as summer camps.
