Happy New Year from Our Tiny Farm

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Our Tiny Farm! It was a very soggy and warm Christmas this year. Chester and Meadow did not enjoy having to spend so much time in the barn (they both HATE to be wet). But we went out to spend time with them and give them treats, and today it is starting to dry out and they are back on the pasture.

We are looking forward to a quieter and easier 2024 on Our Tiny Farm. There are only two donkeys here now and we expect to just host a few fundraisers here for local non-profits.

We plan to spend more time relaxing, gardening, playing with the donkeys, and enjoying all the wildlife who call Our Tiny Farm "home". This year we have deer, rabbits, opossums, raccoons, skunks, feral cats, hawks, several kinds of woodpeckers, many other birds, and for the first time in many years, we've spotted fox again, as shown in the pic above!

Some of the Donkeys Who have Called Our Tiny Farm "home"

Over the years we have had many donkeys on the farm; up to six at a time.

Temporary Donkey Home Available in Western NC

If you have always wanted a mini-donkey but don't have a place to keep it temporarily, it might be a good fit at Our Tiny Farm in Henderson county, NC. Miniature donkeys are preferred, but we will consider standards (we have had several here before).

We are a very small farm and give our donkeys lots of attention throughout the day. We put on fly masks and grazing muzzles (if needed) each morning, carefully weigh out hay, use slow-feeders, and bring everyone into the paddock close to the house each night.

Temporary Home for Your Donkey

This doesn't happen very often, but we will have room for two donkeys, probably in late spring. Two of our donkeys are moving away and our donkeys are happiest in a six member herd. If you have donkeys and they need a home, or if you have wanted to own donkeys but don't have your own place to keep them, here is your opportunity. We are located in Henderson County, North Carolina. Contact us through the Contact Us tab in the right side bar, or email us at ourtinyfarmnc@gmail.com.
