GET OUTSIDE AND LOOK AT THINGS!

“It’s not what we look at that matters. It’s what we see.”

–Henry David Thoreau

You can marvel at many things at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC. 

–The rectangular iris of a goat eye. (Above Pic is CLAIRE-a mini donkey)


–The green and blue in a black feather. 

–The turquoise blue ear lobes of a white Silkie breed rooster. 

–The wide varieties of textures of bunnies. 

–The way ears can go up or down. 

–The different colors of eggs.

–The wide variety of combs on hens and roosters.   

–How a curved follicle can make feathers curl just like curly hair on a human. 

–How quickly a baby chick or duckling grows

–How a chicken or duck born with a twisted beak can adapt and thrive

Get outside and look around! We have plenty of deep shade here at Winterpast Farm.

If you would like to meet our wide variety of animals, PLEASE read the entire “your visit” 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.
