THANKS FOR AMAZON WISH LIST GIFTS!

Thank you to anyone who has sent Winterpast Farm a gift on our Amazon Wish List. Today a soft blue blankie and really nice salt licks arrived. Both will be in a guinea pigs cage in the morning. Usually these come without any notification of who sent them. 

So here is a big THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUU ! From Farmer Mary and all the former pets now living at Winterpast Farm. Every item really helps Farmer Mary continue to care for all the animals here.

Please let other friends of the farm know about our new Wish List too.

ANIMAL FOOTPRINTS IN THE SNOW

Farmer Mary found all sorts of footprints in the snow all over the full ten aces of Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC. It is always fun trying to determine what animals are enjoying Winterpast Farm at night and in the forest. Farm visitors today saw emu, deer and racoon prints in the back pasture.  


Farmer Mary is thinking of buying an infrared wildlife camera. Do YOU have any experience with a certain brand? There are so many to choose from!

Hoping to post some interesting night photos soon! Maybe we can see the emu lay an egg!
