Learn MoreGood morning, friends. We would like to thank you for your patience and understanding while Winterpast Farm remains temporarily closed in accordance with recommendations by the CDC on preventing the spread of COVID-19.
We greatly miss having all our wonderful, loving supporters come see us, but it is vitally important that we make absolutely certain our visitors and animals can all be as safe as possible before we open our gates to the public again.
Farmer Mary is thinking through the entire process of reopening including :
-Definite appointments will be made with exact numbers of groups with no more just dropping in
-Required hand washing at the barn sink before you come in to the farm and signs recommending hand washing on your way out (Buy more paper towels, have more trash cans available, find time to sanitize the sink handles and door all day long?)
-Wipes available to sanitize the front gate (Buy more wipes, how to hang them at the gate for use?, where to put soiled wipes…)
-Sanitizing the blue buckets for animal feed. We regularly wash the buckets but usually reuse them many times during the day. Would Clorox spray and wipes on the handles be enough? (Buy more wipes, Buy more cleaning spray (where exactly to have this available and how to keep small children from getting into?) Buy more buckets? Where to store used buckets til end of day? Add cleaning all buckets to end of day chore list)
-Fabric lap cloths for holding bunnies are necessary especially during this season of bare legs and are usually used several times until soiled. They are quite expensive to buy. How many would be enough for a busy day? Would Farmer Mary have time to go to the laundromat daily instead of twice a week? Where to store the “used” cloths? How many new ones to buy? Could anything else be used to protect laps?
-Require mask wearing???
👍We will be certain to let you know more about plans to reopen via our website at www.winterpast.org and on all our social media sites just as soon as we have a definite date for reopening.
-Farmer Mary
