Donkeys just have a way...

It was a cold, windy day. A truck had to be let in and out. A chain had to be reset. A broken hay feeder had to be fixed. A gate needed a repair. Hay bales needed to be counted. Again! All of these tasks have to happen on a regular basis and sometimes the tiredness sets in. I leaned on a stall wall staring outside at nothing while waiting for the truck to return and this sweet little face pushed her way into mine.

The tiredness evaporated.

We had a gorgeous, fun afternoon at the beautiful Durham Hill Farm in Pipersville, PA for The Farmette's annual event. It was so encouraging to have around 150 people in attendance, celebrating, enjoying and learning about donkeys and rescue. There were many special moments including the surprise honoring of a new Farmette friend who is the "dad" of one of our newest little donkeys, Lucia. We were so happy to have him and his family in attendance. One person can make a huge difference in the life of an animal and that's the kind of guy he is.

Rescue is always a team effort and this event was no exception. Thank you to all our volunteers who transported heavy corral panels, moved boxes, set up all kinds of stuff, helped park vehicles, ran stations and helped clean up afterwards. This day would have been impossible without each one of you. And thank you to everyone who attended. We were so happy that all of you were there. Finally, many thanks to the kind people of Durham Hill Farm who donate their wonderful venue to us once a year for this special event. We are very grateful.

Kai is very glad that the crazy wind is over and that no rain is predicted for tomorrow — and so are we! We’re looking forward to seeing a bunch of you at the beautiful Durham Hill Farm in Pipersville at 1:00 Sunday afternoon for our annual fundraiser event. Our very kindly donated “eat it now or later” bake sale will not disappoint you!

Greta wanted to make an announcement. We'll translate it for you so the details are clear!:

"Along with some of my donkey friends, I'm looking forward to seeing you on Sunday afternoon at 1:00 at The Farmette's annual fundraiser event hosted by Durham Hill Farm in Pipersville, PA. If you haven't gotten your parking ticket yet, this is your last chance. There are only a few spots left. Check out the link in the comments or you can find tickets on Eventbrite by searching for The Farmette. See you then!"

How are our newly-adopted donkeys Jax and Axel doing in Indiana? This photo illustrates it well. Major rainstorm going on there for over 24 hours. Dry, happy, loved donkeys!

Wouldn't you like to be able to spend time with these sweet animals on a weekly basis?!

The Farmette has the BEST volunteers but we need more help. We have both AM and PM shifts open on various weekdays and weekends. A barn cleaning shift takes about 75-90 minutes depending on weather, etc. No previous experience needed and the only skill required is the ability to push (or learn to push!) a wheelbarrow. We'll teach you the rest.

We require volunteers to commit to at least one shift weekly. It's fun to do it with a friend or family member. Children 16 and over are also welcome but must be accompanied by a parent at all times.

If you're interested in working with us (Pipersville, PA), please PM or email us at [email protected] The best friends are often made when you work together and share a mission. And the donkey company is fabulous! Thank you!

(We don't currently need people to volunteer to groom donkeys. Many of our barn cleaning volunteers enjoy doing that once the barn work is done. And then the donkeys go roll in the sand and smile at them!)
