All Mothers visit Winterpast Farm free this Sunday. Farm will be open 1-7.
Farmer Mary and some of her animals (BA BA the sheep and DOT and RALPH the baby goats) will be on WNCN (NBC-17 Raleigh) tomorow morning at 11:30. The show is MY CAROLINA TODAY.
The animals are visuals for a story about World Vision which is a Christian humanitarian organization dedicated to working with children, families, and their communities worldwide to reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty and injustice.

Children attending Saint John’s Preschool in Wake Forest voted recently to choose either a guinea pig or bunny as a temporary classroom pet. Books from the library have been studied as the children prepared for the big responsibility of having a classroom pet.
Today was the day Farmer Mary delivered five cages with 2 guinea pigs (PEACHES and PEANUT BUTTER) and 3 bunnies (MARSHMALLOW, KOKO and one of HONEY BUNNY’s babies named BLACK VELVET).
Classes voted today which bunny or guinea pig would be their classroom pet. Some children were a bit surprised that a guinea pig was not exactly the type pig they expected.
$35 per cage, food and all supplies are included to make a week of animal interaction a success.
Contact Farmer Mary about a family or classroom pet rental. You don’t have to own it to love it! Thank you for helping recycle existing pets. And, for supporting a small local farm family.

Might be time to plan a picnic lunch or supper at Winterpast Farm!
Farmer Mary stopped on her way home from the preschool petting zoo event for some of her favorite coffee at Taylors Wine Shop. Employees found out DOT and RALPH were in the parking lot and had to come give them some love.
Farmer Mary will be bringing these baby goats and lots more animals to a charity event at Taylors later this month.
Hope you can come by!
