Ujamaa Marketplace is a vibrant and culturally rich market boasting the creativity of Black, Indigenous and other persons of the diaspora. There’s beauty and culture in this region and it often goes unseen. We aim to change that by bringing our community of artisans, crafts people, musicians, and culinary geniuses in one place. This market place will feature wellness products, plants and other home goods, apparel, art, books, food, and a workshop. We’re not the only place in town, and this will be the one place you’ll want to be on the first Saturday mornings in March, April, & May and all day on Juneteenth.
Get ready to rise up at the 3rd Annual She Slays 5K, happening Saturday, April 25, 2026, in partnership with Pardee Hospital Foundation’s Women Helping Women and Hunter Subaru!
This empowering event celebrates the strength, courage, and unstoppable spirit of women—encouraging each of us to take charge of our health and lift one another up. Every step you take supports local women in Hendersonville fighting cancer.
Whether you run, walk, or dance your way across the finish line, you’ll be part of something bigger—women helping women, slaying together, and making a real difference.
Everyone is welcome to join the movement!
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. We will have activities for kids, a food truck, drinks, a few vendors, a silent auction, and our 25 acre campus open for exploration!
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.
Experience the 6th Annual Jump Off Rock Half Marathon & 10K, presented by Hunter Subaru and UNC Health Pardee. This springtime race offers a scenic and fast course that winds through some of the most beautiful areas of Hendersonville!
The Half Marathon starts at the iconic Jump Off Rock in Laurel Park, with sweeping views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and colorful spring blooms. Runners then follow a gently downhill, USATF-certified course into the heart of downtown Hendersonville—known as one of the most picturesque half marathons in the Southeast.
The 10K begins at the Hendersonville Family YMCA and joins the half marathon route partway through. This course is mostly flat with a few gentle rollers, making it great for all abilities.
Both races finish on Main Street in Historic Downtown Hendersonville, where runners will be welcomed with lively finish line festivities and small-town charm.
Come see why this race is more than just a run—it’s a visual journey and a community celebration.
Both races are USATF Sanctioned AND Certified!
