WILBUR the littlest pig at Winterpast Farm petting zoo loves to snuggle down into the wheatstraw in the old tobacco barn. A former pet, WILBUR now lives happily on ten acres with pigs DAISY and PEG-LEG and with the goats, sheep, donkeys, minihorse and emu. He loves to explore the woods and enjoys snouting around looking for roots and grubs to eat.

Three emu eggs from Winterpast Farm are being incubated by a local family. Farmer Mary will post updates. Fingers crossed for baby emu in about 55 days.
The emu haven’t laid fresh eggs in a few days and these were laid before the big snow. Farmer Mary had taken them inside to keep them from freezing. So, we are hoping they are fertile and hoping they will develop. Time will tell…
