HOST-A-HEN

🐓Why not HOST-A-HEN or RENT-A-ROO from Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC?! Tiny beautiful Japanese Fantail bantam chickens are the perfect size for home schooled students or others staying home. 

🐓Enjoy their company both indoors or out.  Hosting a hen/roo supplies include the cage, bedding, food and more. This little hen is being hosted this week and is enjoying time indoors and in the garden. These little chickens don’t dig up the yard like bigger hens. The hosting program helps  Farmer Mary continue to care for and to feed all the animals, including a lot of former pet chickens, now living at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC. 

🐓YOU can read more at the “Pet Hosting” section at www.winterpast.org.

Tongue Out Tuesday!

Sweet Max is celebrating Tongue Out Tuesday with his very best girl at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC.   Farmer Mary found Max in the middle of the road years ago and when his original humans were located they suggested that Farmer Mary just keep the dog.  The Farmers Daughter had already fallen in love so it was a match made in heaven. MAX is very happy that his best girl is all finished with going away to college and loves to snuggle with her day and night. 

☀️Farmer Mary hopes to have the farm open for visits tomorrow at 10 but rain may come in the afternoon. Check back for weather updates. Please read “Your Visit” at www.winterpast.org.
