VOLUNTEER HERE

A day off from school yesterday meant working off some Community Service hours for a group of Franklin Academy students. Recycling cardboard included breaking down a tall mountain of boxes that came from donated food at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC.

Other farm chores included moving a very large pig pen (then getting a chance to play with piglet FRANKLIN-hey Franklin Academy why not have FRANKLIN the new boy pig (a recently donated pet) be your school mascot and help support him with food donations and more volunteer hours??!), filling all the waterers, feeding and watering and giving hay to all the small caged animals and moving a large pile of recently donated hay undercover to protect it from future rain.

With all her own children back in college or out of the nest Farmer Mary can always use volunteer help! Read the Volunteer pages at www.winterpast.org.

❤️Good news for those who have been following the zoo lately is that it looks like Winterpast Farm and Farmer Mary’s home will be safe, just on considerably fewer acres. The legal system moves very very slowly so we apologize that updates have been few and far between. However, the GoFundMe will continue as a possible buyout of the back acres is still what Farmer Mary dreams about. ❤️BIG THANKS to all of our supporters during this very hard time.
