Best Friends Farm Miniature Donkeys

Best Friends Farm Miniature Donkeys is a miniature donkey breeder in Gainesville, FL, North Central Florida near Jacksonville. They have been caring for miniature donkeys for several years and adhere to standards set by national donkey associations. Each foal is raised in a family barn with daily handling and pasture turnout for early socialization. Feed consists of locally grown hay and mineral supplements tailored for donkey health and well-being.

Owners James and Frankie manage five acres of oak-shaded pasture where the herd grazes alongside other farm animals. One local review highlighted the calm temperament of their donkeys around children and pets, reflecting the breeders’ patient approach. They participate in regional fairs and host occasional educational tours for local schools. Their farm routine includes regular hoof care, vaccinations, and gentle training to help each animal adapt smoothly to its new home.
