About Our Donkey Encounters

Experience the joy of a Donkey Encounter

What Happens

NOTE:  In 2026 Donkey Encounters are selling out very quickly.   It is recommended that you schedule early to secure your spot.  

Create memories with your family and/or friends as you spend  an hour and a half with Wilbur, Waylon and Oliver at The White Dog Farm. 


You will start in the barn with a short safety briefing so that you can be safe as you interact with the donkeys and so that  the donkeys can also be safe.  


Then you will meet each of our donkeys and learn a bit about them along with some general education about donkeys. 


From there you will enter the paddock with the donkeys and sit at eye level with them so you can receive those amazing donkey hugs, pet them, watch their antics.  This is where the magic happens.


You may also learn to halter and tie the donkeys and brush them,  Weather permitting you can lead them on a supervised walk around out property.  

We provide you with treats to feed the donkeys if you like.


Or you can choose to spend your time with the donkeys just sitting quietly with them.  Its your time and you can choose how to spend it.


Donkey Encounters are listed on our Eventbrite page and also by appointment.  We recommend checking the weather forecast and choosing a day that looks good, then contact us to set up a time.   Any time after 11am is workable but we recommend late afternoon for the best time of day and the closer to sunset, the better.  


Please wear closed toed shoes.  Flip flops are not allowed due to safety concerns.

Please do not bring your dog(s).  We love your dogs but our donkeys may not. 


Cost:  $30/person for 1.5 hours

An Add-On Option

An add-on option is to add photos to capture your experience.

Capture those unforgettable memories with a photos.  While you are still welcome to take selfies with your phone while visiting, why not free up your hands to enjoy the donkeys while Amber, the owner of The White Dog Farm will catch candid photos, edit them, and deliver them to you via email within a week of your visit.


See some of her photos in our photo gallery on our home page. 


Cost:  $20 for your group

NEW in 2026! Experience the Best of Donkey Encounter Farm

We are blessed with stunning sunsets here and feel they are just too good to  keep to ourselves which is why we are oping up a new Donkey Encounter experience.  As the weather gets hot in the daytime we invite you to book one of our Sunday Sunset Donkey Encounters.  Its truly the BEST time to visit.  You will sit by the pond with the donkeys and enjoy a beautiful sunset.  It is so very relaxing and peaceful.  We know you'll love it!  Check out our Eventbrite page for dates.

This is also the very best time if you are looking for photos.  Midday sun can provide a challenge with harsh shadows in your photos.  Sunset offers that much sought after "golden hour" lighting.  

Want to hire a professional photographer?

We have teamed up with D & L Photography to offer their mini-sessions for your family.   These sessions do not include the Donkey Encounter experience.

Contact D & L Photography to set up a time for them to come to The White Dog Farm and create beautiful photos of your family with our donkeys.  These are sure to be something you will treasure for years to come!
