A wide variety of friendly, exotic Lizards from The Traveling Tortoise enjoyed being petted and fed by visitors to Winterpast Farm on Saturday during our special event.
Brave visitors allowed one lizard to lick their elbow with its bright blue tongue!
The Traveling Tortoise is a locally run business. Michelle, mother to five sons, provides educational visits with her reptiles to schools, camps, birthday parties and more.
in the past Michelle has brought animals for FROG DAY, TURTLE DAY and a SNAKE DAY at Winterpast Farm. Be watching for her next event at the farm!

Winterpast Farm will join 27 other farms the weekend of September 20/21 for the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association’s 9th annual Eastern Triangle Farm Tour. Farmer Mary will donate two days of the farm and visitors will pay per carload to the Stewardship Association to visit as many of the farms as they like. Winterpast may have 500 visitors each day! Last year we were very busy both days of the tour!
Lots of volunteers will be helping prepare the farm and will be on site to help with the large number of visitors expected those days. Farmer Mary always appreciates good volunteers. If you have some free time before the tour or the day(s) of the tour and want to help, please let her know.
Saturday, Sept 20 from 1-5 and Sunday, Sept 21 from 1-5 are the tour days/hours.
