"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened."
- Anatole France

Brayhope Farm believes that the bond between humans and animals is a mutually beneficial relationship that can foster the health and well-being of both. The mission of the Corporation is to provide members of the special needs community with the positive therapeutic effects of animal assisted activities in a compassionate, safe and professional manner, and to achieve educational goals through community service programs in an effort to enhance the quality of life for special needs people who interact with the animals, as well as the animals themselves.

Back by popular demand! Winter is near. It's time to think about your annual Christmas card. Let us help by providing the perfect backdrop with the cutest little donkeys or goats! Photos will take place in the barn. Your unique holiday wishes will create warm smiles for all of your family and friends!
Choice of Saturday Nov 14 with the donkeys or Sunday Nov 15 with the goats. Timeslots are every 10 minutes starting at 10 am with the last scheduled at 11:50 am. Enter your desired day and time; you will receive an email confirmation with assigned time (as they are available).

Feed is one of our biggest expenses. It's never to early to begin pledging money towards this fundamental element of care! Our hay expenses for 2025 were $3250.

Our donkeys get hoof trims every 6-8 weeks from Meghan of MM Livestock.
$50 will cover one donkey.

Our vets at North Country make sure our animals are healthy. Spring wellness exams with yearly vaccinations totaled $2132 in 2026. A small price to pay to keep the herd healthy; one donkey and goat at a time!
