The emu at Winterpast Farm petting zoo have begun laying eggs. Usually the female lays about 20. The male is supposed to set on the eggs for 55 days but he never has here at Winterpast Farm. A very limited number of fresh emu eggs are available for $25-great gift for a foodie friend!
Farmer Mary discovered a nest with four eggs this morning. She will be taking farm visitors to see the nest at very certain, quite limited, times on open days. She can’t be ten acres back (the eggs are near the back fence line) while visitors are waiting at the front gate to enter. She will post specifics about that very soon.
Here are our three emu.

If you want to visit Winterpast Farm petting zoo in Wake Forest NC and meet all the animals please read “your visit” at www.winterpast.org which explains in great detail admission, how to park at a pig, how not to go down the neighbors private road behind the barn even if your GPS says to turn there, and lists food you can bring to feed animals. If you are finished with your live Christmas tree, bring it along to donate!
