Turtles of all shapes and sizes were on display at Winterpast Farm yesterday during a special Turtle event. The Traveling Tortoise, a locally owned educational company (see more at www.thetravelingtortoise.com) , brought lots of turtles to visit the farm. A large crowd of visitors enjoyed meeting, petting and feeding the turtles.
One young visitor found a small (approx one year old) box turtle on the ground. Obviously it had heard it was turtle day and it decided to attend!
Someone donated two pet aquatic turtles that they had raised for two years and visitors enjoyed watching Farmer Mary transition them into the Winterpast Farm Pond.
Keep an eye on the farm website and FB page for upcoming events including LIZARD DAY!
