Happy World Donkey day!
Today we celebrate the donkey, who has helped human kind throughout history in many different countries. They are loyal, stoic and friendly by nature. There are so many reasons to love donkeys. ❤️🫏

Show us your donkeys in the comments!

Look Who let me put a halter on him this evening!!! Way to go Calvin! This has been a work in progress since he and Belle arrived in January. Calvin was extremely fearful and would tuck tail and run when anyone entered his pen. We are so thankful that he's finally starting to relax around us and show his very cool personality. Clicker training donkeys is so much fun.

Calvin can now get his spring shots, dental, and a hoof trim. 🥳
I'm also excited to get a donkey weight tape on him to see how many pounds he's shed.

To those asking, Belle and Calvin are available for adoption! If you are interested in them please fill out an adoption application and we can set up a time for you to meet these cuties.

Read our newest blog post here!

Let’s talk a little bit about microbiomes and what they are, what they do, and if they’re good or bad. To put it "simply" a microbiome is the community of microorganisms living in a specific habitat. They are bacteria, viruses, fungi and Protozoa that live in and on everything. All living beings...

We love to use these to track progress on our donkeys. We've been using them a lot of Belle and Calvin to track their progress. It's getting hard to tell them apart now. Calvin was dangerously overweight upon arrival, where Belle was dangerously thin.
Happy to have these two, and that they are finally starting to show some progress.

The sun came out for a few minutes this evening and I felt like I may have gone blind. ☀️

I will be very happy for a break in the rain, and so will all the donkeys, and Slick.

The SYA Wonky Donkey Farm stand is up and running! It’s not pretty right now, but it is functional. 😊We will be relying on the honor system for right now, please don’t steal. Bagged aged manure ready to grab and go $5 per bag. Makes great garden fertilizer! We call it garden crack. Not able to do tractor bucket loads right now but are planning to for next year.

We will also be selling eggs in 6 packs, which will be available on Friday.

We will be selling native medicinal plants for replanting, as well as seasonal produce fresh from our gardens.

Right now we have the following plants available.
Mugwort
Catnip
Lemon balm
Tiger lilly
Lilac shrubs
Hosta
Mullein
Jerusalem Artichoke
And hopps cuttings

Calvin is a big softie. He wanted snuggles this morning and was putting his head over my shoulders before I could get my camera out.

Thank you to everyone who came out for our very first volunteer day in Marlborough! It was a blast and I was amazed with all that got done in a short period of time! Everyone worked so hard and I am beyond grateful.

The rain held off until a little before three which was perfect. We had 7 people come, and you guys and gals rocked it! I can’t thank you all enough.

We will deffinetly be doing another volunteer day again soon most likely next month when the donkeys all start shedding so we can have one group on donkey brushing. Thank you all again!
