Ruby's Acres Alpaca Farm

Ruby’s Acres Alpaca Farm is home to alpacas in Odessa, ON, in Eastern Ontario near Kingston. Owner Joanne D’Amore follows industry standards and participates in registry programs, with routine health checks and annual vaccinations to ensure herd wellbeing. Alpacas live in spacious paddocks surrounded by grassy fields, where they graze daily and receive shelter from modern three-sided barns.

Gentle, hands-on handling from an early age encourages social confidence, and small group interactions help build strong herd bonds. The farm’s sustainable pasture management uses rotational grazing and natural fertilizers to maintain soil health and forage quality. Visitors often mention the animals’ calm temperament and the welcoming feel of the farm, where guided tours include fiber demonstrations.

Seasonal workshops offer a close look at shearing, sorting, and spinning alpaca fleece into yarn, offering insight into wool processing. While sales focus on breeding-quality animals, the farm also supplies small batches of yarn locally and online through its website.
