Our annual Spring Farm Festival is only 6 days away, and we’d love to introduce you to our participating vendors over the next week!

Longhopes Donkey Shelter, located in Bennett, CO, is dedicated to the rescue, shelter, rehabilitation, training, protection, promotion and adoption of donkeys, miniature mules and hinnies. The Shelter accepts for placement donkeys who are at risk for neglect or abuse either due to their age, health, behavior or the owner’s circumstances. Because the Shelter opposes the pipeline of unwanted donkeys going to slaughter and to reduce the number of homeless donkeys, the Shelter does not engage in breeding and does not adopt any donkey for breeding.

On May 27, 2017, the Colorado High Plains Adventure will have its annual Spring Farm Festival! Taking place at Caramel Apple Farm in Bennett, this event will showcase the vibrant businesses and animal rescues of the eastern plains. In honor of Memorial Day weekend, we invite our veterans to join in on the fun, and receive a free meal in honor and appreciation of their great service.  Admission is free. Visit with goats, donkeys, pigs, chickens and those cute alpacas. There will be food, music and fun for all ages!

Other fun activities includes: goat milking demonstrations, alpaca fiber spinning & weaving, face painting, and see Oscar the Therapy Pig perform his tricks. Vendors on site include Hog Haven Farm, Tall Grass Farm Alpacas, Longhopes Donkey Shelter, May Farms, Chimera Ranch, Eastern Sky Alpacas, Elk Club 4-H Club and more. Check out fiber arts, canned jams, jellies, vegetable, soaps & lotions. Purchase apparel and gifts that directly supports these animal rescues that do such a great job!
