Question 1

How much is a baby goat?

Accepted Answer

We strive to match up the right goat to your needs. Pricing depends on pedigree, gender, physical attributes, bottle vs dam feeding and overall availability. Generally our bucklings are $450-500 and our doelings  are $750-850.

Question 2

Do you deliver?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We still have deep roots on Long Island where our passion for hobby farming began. We can deliver to Long Island or within 2 hours of our farm in NJ. We can also suggest transporters for out of state donkey sales.

Question 3

How do I reserve a goat or donkey?

Accepted Answer

Contact Grace at sweetdreamsacres@gmail.com (sweetdreamsacres@gmail.com)to discuss your needs and the animals that are available/expected.

Question 4

Do you have any donkeys available?

Accepted Answer

We have 10 breeding age jennies so there is always a foal due. Our wait list for donkeys born on the farm  is long but it's not strictly first-come, first-served. We aim to match buyers with donkeys based on where we think they'll thrive, buyer seriousness, if they are or referred by previous customers, and location and I also work with two trusted partners that prefer not to sell directly to buyers. Getting donkeys from these partners is often faster and so far it’s working well. In these scenarios I learn what a buyer is looking for and then buy the donkey myself, check it out and if it is as expected re-sell to the buyer.

Question 5

Can I visit your farm?

Accepted Answer

We do not have a farm that is generally open to the public but you are welcome to visit with us if you are ready to make a deposit and when you pickup your animal. We can also recommend several nice farms locally that are equipped for visitors. Tewksbury Township is a beautiful day trip.
