Hominy Gatherin' Market at Ruby Ranch

Spend a slow Sunday at Ruby Ranch, a 20-acre permaculture horse ranch and community hub tucked into the mountains of Candler, just fifteen minutes west of downtown Asheville. The Hominy Gatherin' Market is a monthly open-air gathering that brings together the best of Western North Carolina's local makers, growers, and small farms in one beautiful outdoor setting.

Wander among local vendors offering handmade goods, pottery, herbal products, produce, cut flowers, and farm-fresh eggs and produce. Sip a refreshment, grab a bite from the food trucks, and enjoy live music while the younger ones explore and jump in the bounce house. With open fields, a creek, and shaded space under the pavilion, the ranch invites you to spread out a blanket and picnic and make an afternoon of it.

The market runs the fourth Sunday of every month from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Admission is free, parking is on site, and the whole family is welcome. Whether you're a local looking for your new Sunday hangout or a visitor wanting ato experience Appalachian farm life and community, the Hominy Gatherin' Market is your place.
