DRY OATMEAL A HIT HERE

BOYS GROW AND GROW!

“Throw Back Thursday” from about a year and a half ago when HENRY (the cutest) puppy was so small!! Pictured with Farmer Mary’s youngest son, now a Junior at NCSU and 6’5”! HENRY moved to Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo at 11 weeks old when his first family was allergic. He turned 2 on October 11 this year. Did YOU have the chance to meet HENRY when he was a baby?

EMU EGGS!

Chilly nights are coming so Farmer Mary just walked to the far back corner of her ten acre farm and took the emu eggs from their nest and relocated them to her heated garage. Last year she forgot and they all cracked! You only let that happen once!

These are fresh eggs and are for sale now at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC. $25 for a truly unique gift for a foodie friend perhaps? Paid farm visit not required for purchase and Farmer Mary will throw in a photo of you with the emu and emu feather with any purchase. Sales go directly to the care and feeding of the emu and other animals at Winterpast Farm.

This nest hasn’t had a new egg added in a few days and Farmer Mary is sure it was abandoned. The emu often start several nests before settling on the perfect spot.

NEW MOBILE PETTING ZOO!

Farmer Mary has a new (well, 2003) Mobile Petting Zoo vehicle she purchased at Cox Auto Sales LLC in Burlington. It matches the lovely new orange port-a-john at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest! And, orange is the Farmers Daughters favorite color!🧡🧡

Do you think Farmer Mary can fit a donkey in there? Just in time for transporting her sheep🐏🐑 and goats🐐 to all the local Live Nativities!

Her first road trip will be to see the Farmers Daughter perform with the AppState Colorguard Team at the Louisiana vs. AppState football 🏈 game in Boone this weekend.

GIFT CERTIFICATE ROCKS

Gift certificate rocks (hand painted by Farmer Mary) are for sale now at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo! Cost is the cost of a farm visit ($10). On the back it says “Good for one free admission to Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC. Rocks with two animals can be returned to the farm for two free admissions so they are $20. Great stocking stuffer for Friends of the Farm and for animal lovers who haven’t visited yet.

🦔Thank YOU for supporting a small local farm family animal!rescue.

🐰Another gift idea-Some people buy a $5 guinea pig, hedgehog or bunny ornament (handmade with love by Farmer May) and then make a tag to gift a week pet rental. (Read more at www.winterpast.org under Pet Rental) Cost would be the $5 ornament and $50 for the rental. Great idea to suggest to Grandparents 🙂.

🐥Farmer Mary is outside now watching closely for hawks who are a bit too interested in the 2 week old baby chicks who are wandering around the farm today with their mom.

🐏The zoo is open for visits today from 10-5. Please read the “your visit” section at www.winterpast.org.
