A Decade Rooted in Nature: Celebrating 10 Years of Asheville Farmstead School

On April 25th, 2026, we’ll celebrate our 10th anniversary with our third-ever fundraiser—and our second one hosted right here on campus. We invite you to be part of this milestone event as we honor our first decade and set the stage for the next.

Thanks to generous community members and business leaders like YOU, Asheville Farmstead School has been able to sustain and grow for the past ten years—through natural disasters, a pandemic, and the ongoing work of building out our campus. Because of your support, children in our community have been able to spend their earliest years immersed in nature, sparking curiosity, building resilience, and learning in ways that will last a lifetime.

But here’s the challenge: as a nonprofit, our revenue comes almost entirely from tuition. We are committed to keeping tuition rates affordable for families while also paying our educators fairly as a progressive employer. At the same time, we are responsible for managing 25 acres of land and maintaining an outdoor learning campus that fosters exploration and play. This balance makes it difficult to provide the additional support that makes our programs thrive.
