World Donkey Day! Celebrate the wonderful world of donkeys!

05/08/2026

On World Donkey Day, it was impossible to pick just one donkey to showcase. So here’s a bunch of pics celebrating the sweet, funny, adorable and often mischievous donkeys who call Little Longears home.

Honestly, around here, we think every day should be celebrated as “Donkey Day”😊

If you have donkeys, give them an extra hug today.

On Saturday, we welcomed over 150 guests for our annual Lunch with the Longears! 🩷🫏🩷

It was a beautiful spring day, a little chilly, but that didn’t stop anyone from enjoying time in the pastures and barns and visiting with the donkeys. It was especially fun to watch some of our fan favorites take center stage, happily working the crowd for ear rubs and head scratches.

We are so grateful to John and Wynne Milner for sponsoring the delicious catering from Panera, which is always a favorite.

We also want to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to our incredible staff and volunteers. Their hard work behind the scenes and throughout the event made everything run so smoothly.

If you are interested in visiting Little Longears, all of our opportunities can be found on our website under “Want to Visit?”

We’d love to see your favorite donkey selfies and photos from the day, share them in the comments! 📸

Hi everyone, it’s fast coming up on fly season and that means we go through a LOT of fly spray! I stumbled upon this good deal right now and thought I’d share it out to you. Though it’s not technically set up on one of our wishlists, you could still order it and have it shipped directly to our farm. If you are looking for a way to help the donkeys through the summer, this would be super helpful! Thank you. I’ll put our shipping address in the comments.

Hurry, sale ends soon!

If you remember our “Where’s Matt?” series, you know he’s one of our free rangers, always wandering the farm and doing his own thing on his own schedule.

At an impressive 39 years old, Matt is one of our “super seniors,” and we’re especially grateful to see him out and about, happily eating or grazing. He has lost quite a bit of his vision, but he seems to know exactly where he is and where he is going.

At this stage of life, every day with him is a gift, and seeing Matt enjoying himself is a very good day indeed.
