Half Ass Acres Miniature Donkeys

Half Ass Acres Miniature Donkeys is a miniature donkey breeder in Chapel Hill, TN, within Middle Tennessee near Nashville.

The farm owner, Joe Haworth, holds an active membership in national donkey associations and ensures each miniature donkey undergoes routine veterinary exams, vaccinations, and hoof trimming. Nutrition focuses on pasture grazing supplemented with hay and mineral support to maintain healthy growth. Animals live in open pastures with custom shelters, and daily turnout and early handling help them grow into friendly, confident companions.

Life on the farm reflects a history of small-scale animal care and sustainable pasture management, with donkeys playing a part in educational visits and light farm work. The focus on gentle handling, consistent social grouping, and gradual introductions helps each miniature donkey develop a calm temperament and confidence around new people and animals. Seasonal hoof trimming and targeted nutrition plans also support overall health, with foals raised in family herds for natural social learning.
