PET A POLKA DOT PIG

Pet a nice pig at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC. This is DAISY the “micro mini” “teacup” pig who moved to Winterpast Farm several years ago after she got bigger than the breeder said she would. Farmer Mary is offered a pet pig who “grew bigger than the breeder said” EVERY week of every month of every year, year after year. Pigs DO NOT stay small. Pigs grow for five years. Pigs get BIG. Really big. You cannot starve them to keep them small. Please do not buy a pet pig. Come love DAISY instead!

FIRST EMU EGG!!

The last visitors of the day had a truly memorable visit today at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC! The emu weren’t anywhere in sight and one visitor mentioned she had hoped to see them so Farmer Mary took the last few families on a walk way out in the pasture where they discovered the female emu laying an egg! She stood up as they approached and arched her back and a bright green egg popped out! After the emu walked away everyone was able to warm up their cold hands by holding the very warm egg.

Tomorrow Farmer Mary will be showing farm visitors the emu egg (and perhaps a second will be laid) at 10:30, 12:30, 2:30 and 4:30. Don’t be late! On Sunday the emu nest tours will be at exactly 1:30 and 4:30. Don’t be late! Farm visitors who want to walk way out in the back pasture are welcome-be on time!! (BTW they tend to lay eggs later in the day.)

TRY GROWING INDOORS!

If you have never grown an Amarylis bulb indoors during the winter you might enjoy trying it this year! They are for sale everywhere and some are literally growing out of their packaging by now. Farmer Mary potted this one and started watering it on Oct 31. The daily growth is amazing!
