The Fearrington Farm is now home to 3 adorable donkeys. Jasper, our baby colt was born to Mary Alice (Jennie - female donkey) and Dunnie (Jack - male donkey) in April 2007.

The donkeys live in the pastures at Fearrington alongside the Belted Galloway Cows and Tennessee Fainting Goats.  Farmer Bob Strowd keeps the donkeys on a strict diet of grass, hay and grains.  Their role at Fearrington, in addition to making visitors smile, is to help protect the cattle from predators.
