Folks are encouraged to visit or to text (919-244-1800) her their dog/s name/s and she will make a personalized wooden bone and add it to the ALL Dogs Go To Heaven display in Birdsong Chapel along the forest path to 🌲Forest Dog Private Playground, a 4 acre private dog park.

🍄🟫After a rain 🌧️ there are always interesting discoveries in the forest at Winterpast Farm in Wake Forest NC. This edible Coral Fungi was zig zagging across the forest floor this morning. There are many similar species that are inedible and toxic.The bright yellow species is apparently very tasty but Farmer Mary will leave it for the forest animals to enjoy.

🦔Throw Back Thursday to when Farmer Mary took SONIC 🦔the hedgehog from Winterpast Farm to surprise a lovely well loved Mother for her Birthday🎉 . The Mother grew up reading Beatrix Potter and MRS TIGGY WINKLE (the hedgehog) was her favorite character. Have YOU read the Beatrix Potter books to YOUR children?
🌧️It’s raining at Winterpast this morning and the farm is close for visits til it stops.
🦔SONIC has been on a home visit this week and is coming back to Winterpast today. Farmer Mary has been cleaning his cage she keeps in her garage where he has a reptile heating pad to stay warm.
🦔Whenever you visit Winterpast ask Farmer Mary if SONIC is at the farm and she will be happy to go and get him out for a while.
🐰🦔🐥Do you know about Farmer Mary’s unique Pet Hosting Program? Take a small caged animal (bunny, guinea pig, SONIC, a group of baby chicks when available) home to care for. Have a highly educational animal experience. Learn how much a small caged animal poops 💩 then bring it back! Almost all hosts of all ages get over the whole idea of needing to “own” a small caged pet.
👍🏽Please spread the word about Pet Hosting and help Farmer Mary recycle existing pets instead of just creating more who will probably be dropped off at Winterpast eventually like all the other former pets who live here. Skip that part by hosting!
🐰🐓🐥🦚Meet/feed/pet former pet guinea pigs, bunnies, ducks, and all age chickens. Bring dry oatmeal, cheerios, thinly sliced apples and carrots, greenbeans, romaine and parsley.
Admission: $10/person cash only exact change please. Babies in arms or staying in strollers no charge. Adopted children no charge.
🥬🥕🍎🍇We occasionally have $5 buckets of animal food for sale currently. Ask before you arrive as often we are sold out.
