Throw Back Thursday -the Farmers Daughter (and two of her three brothers) out by the former pool that Farmer Mary has since upcycled into a pond home for unwanted pet turtles and fish at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo.
Farmer Mary first met Elizabeth at age 6 when she took part in a “Give a Russian orphan a vacation” summer program. She and her brother Alex spent the summer at Winterpast Farm and then Farmer Mary found out what their future held:
-Elizabeth would be warehoused with other special needs adults at age 9.
-Alex would be let out the door with no skills or even a coat on his 12th birthday (Russia in November!) and statistically be dead within six months.
Farmer Mary decided to adopt them and sold her car and spent all her savings. At that point the orphanage said Elizabeth would never count past 3.
Elizabeth is now heading towards her second year at Appstate this Fall as part of the Scholars With Diverse Abilities Program and she will continue to be a part of the Marching Band Colorguard team. (Guess she learned how to count!)
The Farmers Daughter is home from AppState for the summer earning her Fall tuition working at the zoo and with pet sitting. She also is available for away events. Read more at the Birthday/Mobile Petting Zoo Pages at www.winterpast.org.

Farmer Mary hopes (and prays) that Elizabeth and all of the other former pets, other special needs animals and elderly animals now living at Winterpast Farm will be able to live out their natural lifespan at Winterpast Farm.

Lazy day snoozing in the shade for pig pals DAISY and PEG-LEG at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC.
🐖Sweet polka dotted DAISY (who is really white but is currently North Carolina red clay colored) was a $3000 “mini” “teacup” pig originally bought from a breeder. She then had several homes as she started to grow larger than the breeder had said she would. Funny how mini pig breeders usually forget to share that pigs grow for four years! Farmer Mary was happy to give her a home when she “outgrew”😉 her welcome at her former home.
🐖PEG-LEG was born at Winterpast Farm and was special from the start since she was born without a back left foot. Farmer Mary named her PEG-LEG the pirate pig and she is a big favorite at Winterpast Farm.
🐖Farmer Mary hopes these pigs and other former pet and special needs and elderly animals will be able to live out their natural lifespan safely and with lots of love at Winterpast Farm.

With YOUR help we can help preserve a small North Carolina farm which is home to many former pets, some great special needs animals and lots of elderly animals.
Winterpast Farm is also a place where many special needs young adults enjoy volunteering, school children enjoy field trips where they learn about animals, families and individuals enjoy spending time outdoors meeting, holding and feeding all of the animals.
Please SHARE with all of YOUR animal loving friends!
