​Our History
​
The name "Ruby Anna Acres" holds great significance and a very special place in our hearts, honoring two extraordinary ladies—one of whom left a legacy (and a hole in our hearts) that continues to inspire our family and close friends every day. “Nana,” “Tweet,” “Pineapple,” or Ann, was originally born as Altie with no middle name. Altie, called “Ann” as a nickname, was originally given this name by her father. It stuck, and that was her name to most, with other nicknames along the way.
On November 27, 2007, Mandy and Aubrey Faatz welcomed a baby girl and decided to name her Ruby Anna after Ann, Mandy’s Nana and best friend. Well, Ann, our beloved “Nana,” decided to go a step further and legally changed her name to “Altie Anna” to mirror the name of her cherished new great-granddaughter, Ruby Anna.
Ruby Anna Acres started out of love and family. We have held MANY wonderful parties, holidays, etc., through the years. Knowing how special the property/farm has been to our family, we would love to share it with others. We invite you to celebrate your love story and/or loved ones' special events in a setting that honors tradition, love, and family. Whether you envision an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, our amazing team at our family-run venue is committed to ensuring that your special day is nothing short of extraordinary.
Every corner of Ruby Anna Acres has a special meaning to us, and as we continue to grow and evolve, we will bring you many more enchanting areas throughout the Ruby Anna Acres property. We are striving to set the stage for unforgettable moments and memories. We look forward to welcoming you and your loved ones to our special place, where we will transform your dream event into cherished memories that will last a lifetime.
