About Us
The Family Farm Adventure...
In 2003 we purchased a lovely spot in Southern Oregon at the West end of the Applegate Valley. We planned to enjoy some relaxation in retirement, travel a bit and establish a hobby vineyard. Then, in 2006 plans changed. We discovered Miniature Mediterranean Donkeys! All it took was a small warm muzzle sniffing at my pocket, soft brown eyes inquiring if I might scratch a long ear or two and the tiniest of foals that I could actually pick up and hold in my arms... I was lost.
Breeding Quality Miniature Donkeys
The R&J herd consists of our halter champion jack and a small number of select breeding jennets, chosen for their excellent conformation, pedigrees and temperaments. We raise a very limited number of beautiful and well socialized foals each year.
Visitors Always welcome
If you are a first time buyer, adding to your herd or simply interested in losing your heart to 'longears', please give us a call. We are always happy to share our experiences and 'talk donkey'. We have met many new friends that "just had to stop at the gate to see the donkeys."
"But what do you do with them?"...
Most of all, Love them!
