Please be aware that birthing involves goo and blood and some of that goes on for several days after birthing. So, be prepared or wait a week before visiting a new baby goat.
PLEASE read the “your visit” section of the website which explains in great detail how to arrange a farm visit, lists the foods YOU can bring to feed the animals, explains parking and more. And, if you are telling a friend about Winterpast Farm PLEASE PLEASE ask them to read “your visit”. Many people just show up without an appointment, don’t realize there is an admission price, don’t realize they can bring food for feeding etc. Thank You for helping make everyone’s visit go well.

The annual Live Nativity at Hayes Barton Baptist Church has been going on for nearly 60 years. Winterpast Farm is pleased to be providing the live donkeys, sheep and goats for the event.
MABEL and CLAIRE, the mini donkeys, spend two overnights each year in the barn on site. Farmer Mary transports the smaller animals each evening for the three night event.
BAA BAA the black sheep was just a lamb at the event last year. This year regulars were amazed at how he had grown.
The Live Nativity is from 7-9 the three nights leading up to Christmas Eve. On Wednesday there is a “meet the animals” time starting at 5:00.
