Farm visitors walked with Farmer Mary in the rain to see the gorgeous emu eggs today.
Farmer Mary keeps posting photos of the amazing big green emu eggs but not the actual emu. Here are the three emu living at Winterpast Farm petting zoo in Wake Forest NC. At least one is a female who would be laying the eggs. Farmer Mary got a new emu earlier this year that we aren’t quite sure yet of gender.
They are very sweet and will let you hand feed them and pet them. They love grapes, kale, soft apple slices, raisins, dry dog food, cereal and crackers. They are the only birds that have double feathers. Come see and feed a nice emu soon at Winterpast Farm.
A few fresh emu eggs are available for gifting your foodie friend. $25 and only available while freshly laid.

If you want to visit Winterpast Farm and meet all the animals please read “your visit” at www.winterpast.org which explains in great detail our 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 the animals. #emu #winterpastfarm
