Farmer Mary is only two likes away from 10,000! What an amazing journey it has been. The farm was a divorce present to herself and then became a sanctuary for her and her two young sons. A year later they were living with two more children she adopted from Russia.
When someone called to ask about her “petting zoo” the entire idea of opening to the public was born. To support the idea of adoption Farmer Mary made a free admission for adopted (and foster) children policy. For some local families with lots of adopted children there is finally a place they can afford to take their entire family!!
Farmer Mary’s children grew up drinking goats milk and swimming in the pool that has since been converted into a pond to house former pet turtles and fish. Farmer Mary’s children are now 22,24,24, and 26 and all live locally. Elizabeth graduated last Spring from App State’s two year Scholars With Diverse Abilities Program and she is back at the farm partnering with Farmer Mary to continue to provide a unique, educational animal experiences for people as well as a home for unwanted pets.
Many individuals and families visit the farm monthly, some even weekly! Many grandparents have discovered Winterpast Farm is a great place to bring their grandchildren. Many local nannies bring their children of all ages. Farmer Mary enjoys providing animals for many local Live Nativities at Christmas time and bunnies for local photographers at Easter.
❤️We truly appreciate your support and hope to see you at the farm soon.

Many local foodies have been enjoying buying emu eggs from Winterpast Farm! Farmer Mary still has some probably not fresh enough to eat emu eggs for sale at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC. ($10 which is less than the usual $25 for a fresh emu egg) Emu only lay during a season and it is now past that season.
🥚People buy the eggs for their beautiful shell and Farmer Mary can instruct you how to empty the contents leaving just one tiny hole in the shell so it’s easy to display. Some people enjoy using a Dremel tool to etch designs in the outer white layer just under the green. A coat of polyurethane clear spray will help protect the outer color from fading. 🥚Chicken eggs are just to show the emu egg size. Sales help Farmer Mary continue to care for and to feed all the former pets living at Winterpast Farm.
