Farm Life
Who We Are
Donaldson Family Farm was founded by Nicholetta and Zach Donaldson, a husband-and-wife team whose shared vision combines a love for animals, family, and faith with a passion for rural living and community.
Nicholetta brings a deep background in animal genetics, blending her scientific expertise with a creative, visionary spirit that shapes the heart of the farm’s breeding programs and educational initiatives. Zach, an accomplished entrepreneur and CEO, provides the business insight and leadership that help the farm thrive and grow. Together, they balance science and strategy, faith and family, hard work and heart.
Raising their two boys, Tucker and Toby, on the farm has been one of their greatest blessings. Homeschooling and hands-on learning allow their children to experience responsibility, stewardship, and the beauty of country life every day.
At Donaldson Family Farm, the Donaldsons are dedicated to offering high-quality miniature cattle genetics, farm-fresh products, and educational, faith-rooted experiences that connect people to agriculture and each other. Their goal is to create a welcoming place where families, friends, and visitors can experience the joy of farm life—whether through photography sessions, events, or simply by enjoying wholesome, raw, and sustainable food.
For the Donaldson family, this farm is more than a business—it’s a calling. A place where faith, family, and farming come together to inspire a simpler, more grounded way of living
