Follow Farmer Mary’s NC Artist friend Amy Fetzer @ab.fetzerart as she paints some of the animals and the old tobacco barn at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC.
In this recent duck painting Amy found painting the burlap bag texture “a good challenge.” That’s a coffee bean bag donated by @larryscoffee in Raleigh.
Farmer Mary uses the empty coffee bean bags to insulate bunny, guinea pig and baby chick pens in the winter and for shade for the animals in the summer.
We even have a bunny named LATTE LARRY! Come meet him soon. And when you next visit Larry’s Coffee in Raleigh be sure to tell them you met “Little Larry” the sweet Lionhead bunny at Winterpast Farm!
