The last visitors of the day had a truly memorable visit today at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC! The emu weren’t anywhere in sight and one visitor mentioned she had hoped to see them so Farmer Mary took the last few families on a walk way out in the pasture where they discovered the female emu laying an egg! She stood up as they approached and arched her back and a bright green egg popped out! After the emu walked away everyone was able to warm up their cold hands by holding the very warm egg.
Tomorrow Farmer Mary will be showing farm visitors the emu egg (and perhaps a second will be laid) at 10:30, 12:30, 2:30 and 4:30. Don’t be late! On Sunday the emu nest tours will be at exactly 1:30 and 4:30. Don’t be late! Farm visitors who want to walk way out in the back pasture are welcome-be on time!! (BTW they tend to lay eggs later in the day.) If would like to meet all the animals at Winter past Farm Farm Petting Zoo, PLEASE read the entire “your visit” section at www.winterpast.org which very fully explains parking, our admission price, and lists a wide variety of food you can bring for feeding the animals.
Spread the word- Farmer Mary will have the farm open every day during the Thanksgiving holiday. Bring your in-laws and other house guests. Make plans to get outside a while. All ages enjoy visiting Winterpast Farm. Thank you for supporting a small local farm family.
