Farmer Mary and some farm visitors discovered that the emu had laid TWO more eggs yesterday, making two separate nests of two eggs each, for now.
Today BA BA the black lamb walked the forest walk with visitors and he was amazed when we uncovered the huge green eggs!
Come see the amazing green eggs for yourself soon!
Stroll ten acres searching for huge big green emu eggs! The emu only lay their eggs (about 30-40 total) this time of year.
Update: will be open 2-5 Tuesday

Farmer Mary is always busy on Sundays with either farm tours or away events like birthday parties, so she can’t go. if you decide to go, and see something interesting or cute for sale, call or text Farmer Mary (919-244-1800) to see if she would like to add it to her animals at Winterpast Farm. your family can donAte the animal(s) and then help take care of it/them (to any extent you desire). Right now there are baby quail, baby ducklings, baby chicks and more for sale.
This heated/cooled enclosed auction is family friendly with hot drinks and food for sale. Watching the animals and the auctioneer is a memorable experience. Particularly good on a cold winter day! Here are a few more details about the auction.
This afternoon Farmer Mary and her daughter, Elizabeth, loaded up the car with sweet animals from Winterpast Farm and headed to a private home for a Birthday celebration. A sun room was the perfect place for the petting zoo,
BA BA the black lamb came along and eagerly took carrots, kale and apple slices from hands.
Guinea pigs were a big hit for holding and feeding. and just the right size for smaller laps!
Farmer Mary would be happy to talk with you about bringing some of her animals to events. Birthday parties at the farm are also popular.
