CATY THE GOAT VISITS NCSU

CATY the goat had a fun afternoon away from the farm yesterday. Some young women rented her and took her on a variety of adventures. Can anyone guess where this photo of CATY was taken?

Why not take a nice sweet young goat along on YOUR next walk or hike or visit to a park? Bet you won’t see a sign saying no goats allowed!

Rent a nice goat (or other animal) from Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC. Read more at Pet Rental at www.winterpast.org.

CUPCAKE THE GUINEA PIG

Come snuggle a nice guinea pig today at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC! This is CUPCAKE, one of several newly donated guinea pigs. Did you know you can rent a guinea pig for a week from Winterpast Farm? This helps avoid you buying one that will end up here eventually when you get tired of caring for it. Most people find that a week helps them to realize they don’t need to own a small animal afterall!  

Open for visits today at noon after Farmer Mary goes to Millbrook High School early this morning where her youngest son, Thomas, is being recognized as one of the Outstanding Seniors in his graduating class!
