Get your family outdoors during the holiday. Bring your in-laws and other extended family members who are visiting. All ages enjoy meeting and feeding friendly animals.
Bring acorns from your yard..the animals love them!
See if you can spy the chicken setting on eggs in one of the hen houses.
EMU eggs are hidden in the back pasture…help Farmer Mary find where the emu have hidden their latest!
Buy a beautiful peacock feather for your friend who has everything. $5
Take some really unique and memorable photos.
To set up a farm visit:
Email Farmer Mary at marymomfarmer@otmail.com
or call 919-244-1800 (if she doesn’t answer texting is better than voice mail)
Bring apples, carrots,,kale, cabbage, wheat bread, crackers, cereal, grapes, any veggie or fruit to feed the friendly animals.
$5 per person. All adopted and foster children always visit at no charge. Farmer Mary adopted two of her four teens. Admission price is going up to $10 on January 1 due to rapidly rising feed costs.
THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING A LOCAL FARM FAMILY
Farmer Mary has nice turkeys at Winterpast Farm. Come meet one soon! They love to eat crackers or bread or kale out of your hand.
Here is Farmer Mary with one of the three turkey hens.
By Spring we hope to be selling eggs (very good for baking) and hope to have baby turkeys to sell and raise at the farm.
Here is THOMAS turkey with one of his three female turkey hen friends.
“Velvet” the bunny had nine beautiful babies…five solid black and four striped and spotted.
Come hold one,or two, or nine soon!!
Bring cabbage, kale, carrots, apples for the mom bunny.
Winterpast is open all day Saturday and Sunday after 2.
Make plans to get outdoors this weekend. On Sunday we have a private Birthday Party at the farm in the afternoon, so Saturday is the day to visit.
Meet CHESTNUT the new bunny (he just moved here today)
Explore the woods and count the EMU EGGS
Feel the goats big, pregnant tummies
Bring apples, carrots, cabbage, kale, wheat bread, crackers, cereal to feed the animals
Pet THOMAS the turkey
If you have spare acorns in your yard, rake some up to bring. Lots of the animals like to eat them!
Finally the weather warmed up enough for friend Corrine of HAPPY HEDGIES to bring her hedgehogs to visit the farm.
Farmer Mary’s daughter, Elizabeth, enjoyed holding and petting the hedgehogs.
Another visitor, named Yana, was brave enough to try while her little sister looked on.
The hedgehogs ( and maybe their babies!!) will visit again this winter. Corrinne sometimes needs volunteers to take a baby hedgie home to hold and give extra attention…maybe that would be you? Watch for more hedgehog events at Winterpast Farm.
