THANK YOU to everyone who has donated through the Amazon wish list lately. Farmer Mary loves the new carrot theme cloths which we use as “nests” on visitors laps when they are holding one of our animals. Cloth nests wear out. Tarps wear out. And all the animals keep eating. New arrivals come almost daily. In the past week or so Farmer Mary took in, or agreed to take in soon:
—A Silkie breed Roo named SONNY who’s wife (CHER) disappeared one night.
—A female hedgehog we will call VIOLET (since we have a VINNIE)-went to get her today.
—A rooster who was supposed to be a girl.
—A pair of mated Mallard ducks named FRED and WILMA who’s human was just given a very short life expectancy (coming this weekend)
—Two guinea pigs amed PEANUTS and CARMIE
—A flock of young Pekin breed ducks. (Coming soon)
—An elderly guinea pig who retired from a Montessori classroom. He is black with gold stripes so we have named him BUZZ.
Thank you for supporting a small local farm family. Your petting zoo admission and pet rental fees go diectly to feed all the animals here.
If you would like to meet the wide variety of animals at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo, PLEASE read “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.
