Adirondack chairs are ALL on sale at @bedbathandbeyond in Strickland and Six Forks! Buy a chair and bring it to Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC for one free admission ($10). Farmer Mary will paint your family or favorite pet or company name on “your” chair!
Pic is the Farmers Son (youngest, Thomas, who Farmer Mary was helping shop last night for his first apartment that he moves into on Friday before starting his Junior year at NCSU)
🐷🐓🐖🦃🐐🦔🐑🐏🦆🐥🐇🐖🐓🐥
The zoo will be open today for visits from 10-5. Farmer Mary is drying off benches and chairs.
Thank you for supporting a small local farm family animal rescue.
🙏Please join Farmer Mary in praying for a miracle to keep Winterpast Farm from being sold for development. Farmer Mary’s older sister investor wants her money out NOW and is trying VERY hard to force a quick sale of the entire property. The sister does NOT care at all for the future of all the animals. Do YOU?
It would be tragic to lose one more small Wake County farm, to lose one more historic tobacco barn, to lose one more mature pine 🌲forest, to lose one more old farm house dating from the 1730’s . Where will PEG-LEG the pig🐖 who was born with only three feet ever find another forever home? Or the chicken 🐓with the twisted beak? Can any or all the animals move to YOUR house? If not please donate to help save the farm!

🐷FRANKLIN the seven month old baby pig was a huge hit today with visitors of all ages at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC. He enjoyed food snacks and would “sit” very nicely for them. 🐷Farmer Mary enjoyed meeting new friends and seeing several farm regulars today. Several teen volunteers made up for the Farmers Daughter being back at college. Farmer Mary can always use more good volunteers at Winterpast Farm. Read the Volunteer pages at www.winterpast.org.
🐷BIG Thanks to the “Friend of the Farm”who dropped off extra food and a load of blankets and towels and another who brought a huge load of freshly mowed grass which the teen volunteers fed to the animals and spread in some of the bird pens.

Who else is going to miss the Farmers Daughter 👩🌾at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC when she leaves tomorrow to finish her second year of the Scholars With Diverse Abilities program at Appalachian State University??
Farmer Mary will be posting the campus address 📬for Elizabeth soon so that she will find some mail when she checks her mail box and her phone 📞number so if you are heading to the mountains ⛰maybe you can make plans to stop by campus and see her (and please send Farmer Mary a photo!)
❤️Many many years ago when Farmer Mary hosted 6 year old Elizabeth (then named Svetlana) for a summer “Give a Russian Orphan a Vacation” program she had NO IDEA that she would eventually adopt Elizabeth and her brother Alex. After selling her car and saving all her money Farmer Mary was able to adopt both of them and bring them home to live at Winterpast Farm at age 7. They are now 22!
Elizabeth has worked fulltime at the farm since graduating from Millbrook High School and she has been running her own business called Elizabeth’s Helping Hands which includes work babysitting, pet sitting, yard work and organizing.
The same girl the Russian orphanage said would “never count past three”! Funny how a lack of health insurance leads to not labeling her anything other than “Elizabeth”!
Farmer Mary rarely gives herself a pat on the back but she is so proud of her daughter Elizabeth and has such high hopes for her future!
Note that the Wake County Public School System NEVER once mentioned this college program to Farmer Mary. A friend saw it on TV and and brought it to Farmer Mary’s attention. (Thank you Susan!) Tomorrow Farmer Mary will be heading to Boone with Elizabeth and older brother Ben to settle her into her dorm room! This year she goes early for Marching Band Camp as she was chosen to be on the Colorguard Team for a second Year. Last year they got to go to New Orleans for a Bowl Game!
NEVER let someone else set any limits on your child. Ever!

Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo is becoming THE fun Date Destination in Wake Forest NC! Come meet a sweet baby goat, learn how to feed an emu, snuggle a bunny, pet a hedgehog, meet the new baby pig and make him sit for a carrot…all while helping to support a local small farm family animal rescue.
Winterpast Farm is open today for visits from 10-5. Come see the Farmers Daughter one last time before she heads off to Boone tomorrow!
🙏Please join Farmer Mary in praying for a miracle to keep Winterpast Farm from being sold for development.

It would be tragic to lose one more small farm, to lose one more historic tobacco barn, to lose one more mature pine 🌲forest, to lose one more old farm house dating from the 1730’s . Where would PEG-LEG the pig🐖 who was born with only three feet ever find a forever home? Or the chicken 🐓with the twisted beak? How about JUNIOR the 5 year old hen 🐓who survived an attack which killed her entire flock at her former home. Can JUNIOR retire to your home? She doesn’t lay eggs any more. Will you feed and care for her like Farmer Mary does? How about the pregnant guinea pig? Can any or all the animals move to YOUR house?? If not please donate to help save the farm!

PLEASE SHARE or COMMENT!
This is your sporadic reminder that Facebook ranks the Winterpast Farm Facebook page based ONLY on the number of “Shares” and Comments. Any quick “Like” no longer helps at all🙁
Farmer Mary asks all Friends of the Farm who follow the farm on FB to please take a minute occasionally (or regularly!!) and send a “So cute” or “Wow” comment or even better comment including a picture from your farm visit at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC.
This interaction really helps boost the page and helps spread the word about our little petting zoo animal rescue AND currently helps spread the word about #savewinterpastfarm.
Facebook does not send Farmer Mary’s posts to most of her own followers. They want her to pay to send her daily posts to her own followers! Sorry, Farmer Mary spends all her money on the care of and feeding the animals and has NO advertising budget!
