Our Farm

Welcome to Sweet Mini J's Farm, located in beautiful Southeast Ohio in the heart of the Hocking Hills. What began as a love for miniature donkeys has grown into a passion that has spanned more than a decade.

For the past 10 years, we have been dedicated to breeding quality miniature donkeys with exceptional dispositions, sound conformation, and loving personalities. During that time, we have proudly welcomed 56 foals to our farm and have had the privilege of placing our donkeys with wonderful families across multiple states and even as far away as Canada.

Sweet Mini J's Farm is truly a family operation. We have been married since 2014, and in 2021 we welcomed our son, who is growing up alongside the animals and helping make memories on the farm every day.

Willow Mae

Willow Mae is a light gray jenny, she is an ivory gene carrier. she was born july 27 2017 on our farm.

Scarlett

Scarlett has been one of those donkeys that has shown exceptional conformation from birth. We quickly knew that she was going to call our farm home. She is an in your pocket donkey and is exceptionally smart! We are hoping to have our first foal from her in 2027!

Sarah Beth

SARAH CAME TO US FROM A FARM IN PENNSYLVANIA. SHE IS A RIBBON WINNER AND KNOWS HOW TO PULL A CART :) SHE WILL BE REGISTERED IN THE OPEN DONKEY REGISTRY AS WELL AS THE SPOTTED REGISTRY.

Pixie

Pixie is a uniquely colored donkey with just a few spots. She is an ivory carrier and best friends with Pepper. She has bossy attitude that demands attention. She has been exposed to Kerns Picasso in hopes for her to have her first foal in 2027.

Peppermint (Pepper)

Pepper was sired in New York but was born on our farm. Her unique no light point coloration, diverse genetics, and sweet personality made the decision to add her to our breeding program an easy one. She is Pixie’s partner in crime and demands attention. She has been exposed with Kerns Picasso for her first foal in 2027.

Fancy

Fancy is one of those wonderful surprise donkeys you get. Her mom Frontier Legends Sadie has never given us a red coloration before and when Fancy was born, we instantly knew she would be staying home with us. We have been trying to grow our “red” herd for a while and also wanted to retain Frontier Legends blood line in our breeding program. Fancy is developing nicely as a yearling, and we have future high hopes for her and DTA’s Red Hot Peanut pairing!

Cinnamon

Cinnamon is a wow donkey! From birth we could tell that her conformation is exceptional. She is an ivory carrier and uniquely colored with red highlights in her face. She continues to develop nicely and stands out in the yearling pasture. We are excited to see how she continues to develop and for a future pairing with DTA’s Red Hot Peanut!

Sweet Mini J's Camellia

Camellia was our first foal of 2018! She was born at 2:30AM, on Thursday April 19th. She is a dark brown jenny with a white nose! We decided to keep Cami at our farm since she has such wonderful bloodlines! Update on Cami, she has had a few fantastic foals for us and is a sweetheart that steals the attention like her momma!

Cali

Cali got her name due to her being so uniquely colored at birth. She was red on her face and ears, and grey on her back and legs. I knew she would retain some of her red due to her having iconic red eyelashes. We lost Cali’s grand dam, so when we had a chance to add her bloodline to our herd we took it and decided to retain her on our farm. She is developing nicely with great conformation and stands out in the yearling pasture. We are excited for a future pairing with her and DTA’s Red Hot Peanut!

AZALEA IS A DARK BROWN JENNY BORN MAY 22, 2017. SHE IS AN IVORY CARRIER. SHE WAS ALSO THE FIRST FOAL BORN AT OUR FARM! Azalea has produced one nice jennet foal for us and is currently being bred at our friend’s exposed to their jack for a hopeful 2027 foal!

News from our Farm

Miniature Donkey Knowledge

Foaling

Over the past decade we have learned a few things about the foaling process and thought it would be good to share what we have learned. …

Hoof Trimming

Proper hoof care is one of the most important aspects of keeping a healthy, sound miniature donkey. Unlike wild donkeys, whose hooves naturally wear down as they travel long distances over rough terrain, domestic donkeys rely on routine hoof trimming to maintain proper balance and function.

Donkey Health/Care Knowledge

Healthy miniature donkeys thrive when they receive consistent preventative care, proper nutrition, and regular observation. Unlike horses, donkeys are naturally stoic animals and often hide signs of illness until a condition has become more serious. For this reason, daily monitoring of appetite, water intake, manure production, and behavior is one of the most important aspects of responsible donkey ownership.

Dental Care

Proper dental care is an essential part of keeping miniature donkeys healthy and comfortable throughout their lives. Unlike people, a donkey’s teeth grow continuously, making routine dental examinations important to prevent sharp points, uneven wear, hooks, and other abnormalities that can interfere with eating.
