A SIGN OF HOPE!o

A pure white dove suddenly appeared today at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC. Farmer Mary provided water and food and the dove seems very happy to hang out by the pond.

White doves symbolize:

πŸ•ŠKindness

πŸ•ŠPeace

❀️Love

πŸ™Faith πŸ•ŠHope

πŸ•ŠDedication πŸ•ŠProsperity

Farmer Mary is taking it as a sign that #savewinterpastfarm will succeed! Send some positive thoughts our way!

πŸ•ŠDid you know that the ten acres of Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo may be sold soon for development?!

πŸ•ŠFarmer Mary’s older sister investor wants her money out NOW and is trying VERY hard to force a quick sale of the entire property. She does not care at all for the animals or for the future of her niece (or Farmer Mary!) πŸ•ŠIt would be tragic to lose one more small farm, to lose one more historic tobacco barn, to lose one more old farm house dating from the 1730’s . Where else would PEG-LEG the pigπŸ– who was born with only three feet ever find a forever home? At YOUR house?? If not please donate and SHARE to help save this special NC farm!

πŸ•ŠIf YOU love ❀️Winterpast Farm please check out our GoFundMe and donate if you can and, most importantly, please SHARE with all your friends who love ❀️ animals, employment opportunities for special needs adults, old tobacco barns, pine forests and land conservation!

πŸ•ŠThank YOU for sharing to help spread the word about our little zoo which many unwanted animals call home. Farmer Mary prays that all of the former pets, special needs animals and elderly animals (and she and her daughter) now living at Winterpast Farm will be able to live out their entire natural lifespan here. #savewinterpastfarm

VOLUNTEER HERE

Big Thanks to this great family who was in town from Philadelphia visiting family. They came for a farm visit then immediately made plans to volunteer here just a few days later! They were a huge help and then had a chance to hold a few of the animals who they had fed and watered. Farmer Mary hopes they will be back again soon as visitors or volunteers during their next local visit!

πŸ₯Hopefully Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo will still be here! YOU can read all about Volunteering at Winterpast at www.winterpast.org. Thank you for supporting a small local farm family animal rescue. The zoo will be open for visits today from 12-5. #getoutdoors

WHITE PEACOCK

Farmer Mary’s all white male peacock has molted his long tail feathers and he can fly much more easily now. In the evening the peacocks usually hanging out by the entrance of Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC.

The peacocks will eat out of your hands. Bring along romaine lettuce or kale, plain Cheerios, whole corn, dry oatmeal and grapes to feed the peacocks next time you schedule a farm visit to Winterpast Farm.

MEET THE DOGS

Meet all the current dogs at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC!

When Farmer Mary was a child her Mother said she could have all the dogs she wanted when she got older. Well, she’s older now!

From left: HENRY (the cutest) English Cream Golden Retriever arrived at 11 weeks old and will turn 2 on October 11. HENRY was a pet the original owners were highly allergic to.

In the Farmers Daughters arms is MAX who flagged down Farmer Mary’s Mobile Petting Zoo van from the middle of a busy road about 3 years ago and when Farmer Mary found his owners they didn’t want him back. MAX very happily became part of the farm family but mostly loves his girl Elizabeth. When the Farmers Daughter went off to AppState last fall MAX moped a while but he gets plenty of love from farm visitors of all ages.

In Farmer Mary’s arms is mini Dachshund SWEETIE who moved to the zoo about 3 years ago when her owners didn’t have time for her. SWEETIE’s eyes are clouding now and she only occasionally comes down the ramp from Farmer Mary’s bedroom to interact with farm visitors. SWEETIE didn’t quite fill the hole left by Farmer Mary’s beloved 18 year old Dachshund BARNEY ❀️who is buried on Blueberry Hill just past the pond at Winterpast Farm.

CHARLIE the Border Collie mix farm dog partially hidden by the flowering pasture came from Wake County Animal Shelter about 8 years ago. He and HENRY are great pals and CHARLIE is slowly passing the baton of Mouse Patrol and NIght Patrol to HENRY. CHARLIE truly excels at Snake Elimination and has been well loved by our farm visitors for many years.

How many dogs do YOU have?
