Winterpast Farm can always use:
—Empty gallon jugs (those that held ice tea or water are best as ones that held milk can get stinky unless cleaned well after emptying) to be used for carrying water to cages
—Newspapers! We can only use the absorbent newsprint pages, not the shiny ads, (used for lining cages and for pet rentals)
—old towels, any size (used for birthing and to cover small cages so birds who roost on top won’t poop in the cage below
—any size fleece blankets (this is a current sale at a local Walmart).
—bags of dry raked up leaves to use as bedding
—bags of grass clippings (if not from a chemically treated lawn) to be used as bedding and nesting
—any size pillowcases, esp flannel (used for lining guinea pig cages)
—old fleece coats, kids footie PJs…Farmer Mary uses the sleeves and legs to make “goat coats” for the baby goats and lambs. Dog coats and sweaters are also useful.
—leftover bits of lumber, plywood, wire…
—dog/pet carriers,crates, fencing, pens, food (wet or dry, cat or dog)dog coats (for goats!) dog bowels-any size bowl for feeding and watering. Old pots are great too!
THANK YOU for supporting a small local farm family
Raining steadily so farm is closed, probably for the next few days.
