Someone donated their 8 year old pet Eastern Painted Turtle (named RIDLEY) yesterday to the Pond at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC. Farmer Mary and some farm visitors enjoyed watching as the new turtle joined the other turtles and fish in the in ground pool that Farmer Mary has turned into a pond. Welcome to our new friend!
Farm visitors today had the chance to hang out in the pig pen with sweet ROSIE and enjoyed feeding and petting the new 3 month old pig.
Hopefully the rain is over and the farm will be open tomorrow for visits from 10-5.
BTW: Farmer Mary will need more volunteers now that the Farmers Daughter will be away at AppState for college! Read all about volunteering here: http://winterpast.org/volunteer

Please read “your visit” at www.winterpast.org for information about how to schedule a visit, how NOT to turn down the private road behind Farmer Mary’s barn just because your GPS says to, admission (cash only-too many bad checks lately!), and list of animal feed you can bring.
If you would like to help Farmer Mary continue to care for and feed all the animals check out Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo’s Amazon Wish List . Look under “registries” and be sure to put a space between the words Winterpast and Farm! #winterpastfarm #pettingzoo #wakeforestnc #ncfarm #farmermary #farmher #supportsmallfarms #wakeforest #pettental #rentarabbit #turtle #turtlesofinstagram #paintedturtle #pond #pondlife #supportlocalfarms #supportlocalsmallfarms #thatsenoughrain
