Emilia Sopranzi, affectionately known online as That Farmer Barbie, has become a beloved figure on social media thanks to her enchanting life surrounded by animals on a scenic farm in Hawaii. After years spent working in forestry, Emilia chose to follow her heart and pursue a more peaceful and fulfilling lifestyle centered around animal care and outdoor living. With rolling green pastures, sunny skies, and a variety of adorable creatures in her care, Emilia shares her everyday adventures with a devoted audience who finds comfort, joy, and inspiration in her journey.
Her small farm has become a sanctuary of sorts, housing a growing number of animals, each one more adorable than the last. However, it was the arrival of a baby miniature donkey that truly stole the spotlight and sent the internet into a full-blown cuteness overload. Born on March 21, the newborn donkey quickly became the star of Emilia’s feed. But it was not just the tiny hooves or big eyes that captured attention. It was a surprising detail about the baby’s gums that took her followers by storm.
Shortly after the birth, Emilia was performing a routine health check on the baby donkey. As she examined the foal’s gums, she made a discovery that left her—and eventually her online community—completely charmed. The baby donkey’s gums bore an uncanny resemblance to colorful French macarons, the delicate meringue-based cookies loved by foodies everywhere.
Emilia shared the delightful find with her followers in a video post. Within hours, the internet had erupted with comments, likes, and playful comparisons. While most fans agreed that the gums looked exactly like macarons, others insisted they looked more like gummy Krabby Patty candies, the kind often found in candy stores and kids’ lunchboxes. One commenter even joked that they looked like the candy without the pickle. Regardless of the candy they evoked, the consensus was clear. These gums were a uniquely adorable feature that made the little donkey even more lovable.
The baby donkey is not the only one Emilia has helped welcome into the world. Through a partnership with a local donkey breeder, Emilia plays a vital role in the early lives of many miniature donkeys. When foals are born, she fosters them on her farm, providing a safe and nurturing environment where they can grow, explore, and become comfortable around humans.
During these first crucial weeks, Emilia ensures that the baby donkeys meet all of their developmental milestones. This includes carefully checking their health, observing their behavior, and yes, inspecting those now-famous gums. By monitoring their progress, Emilia helps prepare the foals for their forever homes, where they will continue to receive the love and attention they experienced during their early days on her farm.
What sets Emilia apart is not just her dedication to animal care, but the joyful, uplifting energy she brings to everything she shares. Her content offers viewers a window into a slower, sweeter way of living. From early morning chores to sunset donkey snuggles, every moment she posts feels like a breath of fresh air.
Her followers especially love watching the playful antics of the baby donkeys, known affectionately as “zoomies,” when the foals sprint excitedly around the pasture. These moments are full of laughter, energy, and innocence. Emilia has even shared how baby donkeys follow what she calls the “cat lap rule.” Once a donkey decides to curl up on your lap, you are officially stuck there until the little one decides to move. It is a rule that few would complain about.

It is not every day that you see something so oddly endearing as donkey gums that look like pastel macarons, but Emilia has turned this quirky moment into a celebration of love, caretaking, and connection. Her farm may be small, but the joy it brings is anything but.
