A young farm visitor enjoyed feeding sweet JERRY the lop eared bunny who is vacationing at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC this summer while his human is in California for an internship. JERRY is staying in Farmer Mary’s rustic log cabin hutch which she moves onto fresh grass every day or two.
We have a wide variety of bunnies to meet, feed and hold at Winterpast Farm. Most are former pets. Did you know that you can rent a bunny and take it home for a week? Read more at the Pet Rental section at www.winterpast.org.
Farmer Mary’s unique Pet Rental Program discourages most people from buying a pet bunny. “Rent for a week and get over it” says Farmer Mary.
A bunny rental can also be a truly unique “temporary classroom pet” gift for a favorite teacher.please help spread the word about pet rental and help Farmer Mary recycle existing pets instead of creating more.
Thank you for supporting a small local farm family.
If you like animals and want to help Farmer Mary care for and feed all the animals please read the Volunteer pages at www.winterpast.org then text Farmer Mary to get started!

Sweet MARTHA WHITE the goat was enjoying eating leaves off branches of a tree cut down yesterday at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC.
You can join Farmer Mary this Thursday for a Farm Work Day at Winterpast Farm any time from 9-5. Text to let her know you are coming to help her catch up on farm chores.
Note it is a WORKday which is NOT at all like a paid farm visit. Mowing, fencing, cage cleaning, nail trimming, painting, pen moving, outside in the hot sun kind of work day. We have plenty of shade too. Not for little kids. This is NOT baby goat snuggling. Thank you for supporting a small local farm family.

Farmer Mary spotted a guinea setting on this secret nest of eggs at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC. When the guinea left her nest briefly for a drink of water Farmer Mary took a closer look at the nest where there are a variety of duck eggs, chicken eggs and guinea eggs. A Crested Polish hen is setting on one side of the nest along with the guinea. Chicken and guinea eggs will hatch first (21 days) so Farmer Mary may have to incubate the remaining duck eggs (28 days). She will be keeping a close eye on this nest.

Teen extraordinaire farm volunteers yesterday are holding items received just yesterday by Farmer Mary from the Amazon Wish List for Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC.
A big THANK YOU to a “friend of the farm” and her family who donated these bungee cords and animal food bowls from the farm Amazon Wish List!!!
Several of the bungee cords went into immediate use holding a tarp roof over the feed cans and the new square feed bowls fit perfectly corners of the numerous bunny and guinea pig cages.
If you love animals consider volunteering at Winterpast Farm (we have a volunteer Work Day this Thursday!) or check out Farmer Mary’s Wish List which has a huge variety of needed items.
Thank You for supporting a small local farm family animal rescue. #amazonwishlist #winterpastfarm #pettingzoo #wakeforest #teens #volunteers #volunteeratwinterpast #plentyofshadehere #bungeecord #foodbowls #gifts #thankyou
BTW you can follow the farm fun on Instagram at winterpast_farm. FaceBook expects Farmer Mary to pay to send her posts to her own followers. Sorry we have no advertising budget-all our income goes to feed the animals!
