Green Acre Ranch

Green Acre Ranch raises miniature donkeys in Coarsegold, CA, in Madera County and the Sierra Nevada foothills near Fresno. The ranch has been home to healthy, spirited donkeys and maintains adherence to recognized registry standards, with regular veterinary checks and protocols for hoof and dental care. Each foal is handled daily from the first week, ensuring positive early socialization that builds trust with families and other animals. The quiet oak-studded pastures on the ranch give the donkeys room to roam and encourage natural behaviors.

Owner David Smith monitors nutrition closely, combining pasture grazing with quality hay and mineral supplements to support steady growth and hoof health. Progeny are evaluated for balanced conformation and friendly temperaments, traits that suit family farms and small-scale therapy programs. Clients often note the donkeys’ calm nature and adaptability to various settings, reflecting the ranch’s emphasis on low-stress handling and natural living.
