Brief Description of Campground:
One of the only Donkey Dairies in the United States, home to 35 Critically Endangered American Mammoth Donkeys. Our farm and our skincare products have been featured in Southern Living Magazine, Garden & Gun Fieldshop, Fox News, KOCO, News 9, Good Morning New Mexico, Channel 2 Tulsa, and multiple local publications. Now you can experience the Oklahoma Donkey Dairy in person, meet the gentle giants (American Mammoth Donkeys), hike the trails through the woods, hang out in the grain bin gazebos, or just hang out in a hammock while the littles take turns on the teeter totter and trikes, play in the playhouse, slide down the old school slipper slide, or play a few rounds of corn hole, giant checkers, and donkey tic-tac-toe. Everyone asks why on earth we started milking donkeys, the answer is, we never planned on milking donkeys, but sometimes God throws a wrench in our best laid plans! For our family, that wrench came June 6, 2014. The day our 6 year old woke up with strep throat that caused her immune system to mistakenly attack her brain. We were one of the few who got a correct diagnosis early, PANDAS disease (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disease Associated with Strep Throat). The top doctors in the nation said their “best guess was antibiotics every day for the next 13 years.” This guess wasn’t good enough. We cried a lot, prayed a lot, and cried some more. God ended up answering our prayer in an unlikely way, through an unlikely source…Donkey milk. In other countries, donkey milk is well known for its health benefits, but in America it was practically unheard of, made even more difficult to find since donkeys give very little milk! So we did what any desperate parent would do for their child, and started our own herd of American Mammoth Donkeys.
Our farm crafted donkey milk skin care (www.dulcededonke.com) is created with the donkey milk that our daughters and other children don’t need for their health, and our products are available for purchase at the farm.
