Ashley and Nick Rehder, Founders of Ruby Ranch Barn:
Join us for a conversation with Ashley and Nick Rehder, founders of Ruby Ranch Barn, a nine-acre property just east of Pemberton, Minnesota, where education and community meet in fresh, hands-on ways.
In this episode, Ashley and Nick share about their journey building Ruby Ranch from a dream into a space for connection and experiential learning, hosting workshops, events, and summer camps for all ages. They talk about Little Rubies, their preschool/kindergarten farm and nature program for ages 3-6, that uses nature as the daily classroom, complete with animal interaction, garden and pond time, and walks through their trials. They also open up about integrating their personal home on the farm into the operation, pouring their blood, sweat, and tears into a fast flip that expanded what they could offer to the community.
As Ruby Ranch continues to grow (with 29K followers on Instagram!), Ashley and Nick reflect on the values that drive their work, the joy of seeing people connect through nature, and how they’re helping redefine what learning looks like in Southern Minnesota.
