We had great weather and great shade today for a small Birthday celebration at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC.

The Birthday girl and five best friends enjoyed meeting and feeding and holding a wide variety of animals today. Meeting VINNIE the hedgehog was a highlight as was walking baby goats on a leash. Bunny and guinea pig and baby chick holding was very popular too.

WINTERPAST HAS AMAZON WISH LIST

THANK YOU to everyone who has donated through the Amazon wish list lately. Farmer Mary loves the new carrot theme cloths which we use as “nests” on visitors laps when they are holding one of our animals.   Cloth nests wear out.  Tarps wear out. And all the animals keep eating.  New arrivals come almost daily.   In the past week or so Farmer Mary took in, or agreed to take in soon:

—A Silkie breed Roo named SONNY who’s wife (CHER) disappeared one night.

—A female hedgehog we will call VIOLET (since we have a VINNIE)-went to get her today. 

—A rooster who was supposed to be a girl.

—A pair of mated Mallard ducks named FRED and WILMA who’s human was just given a very short life expectancy (coming this weekend)

—Two guinea pigs amed PEANUTS and CARMIE

—A flock of young Pekin breed ducks. (Coming soon)

—An elderly guinea pig who retired from a Montessori classroom. He is black with gold stripes so we have named him BUZZ.

Thank you for supporting a small local farm family. Your petting zoo admission and pet rental fees go diectly to feed all the animals here.
