FEEDING THE ANIMALS

Farmer Mary is alwayshappy to help her farm visitors grow confident about feeding all the different animals at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC. Almost all visitors end up bravely feeding the chickens, ducks, goats, sheep, peacocks, donkeys, pigs and mini horse and most try feeding our emu. Farmer Mary will show you the best way to feed each animal.

All the animals are very nice at Winterpast Farm. If you are the first visitors of the day don’t be too surprised when the chickens and ducks all come running up to see what is in your blue bucket of feed. The nursing mom sheep, who right now are in the front yard with their sweet baby lambs, might surround you and THOMAS the male turkey might stretch to see inside your bucket what treats you brought along but all the animals are very sweet and would safely eat a cheerio from your hand. The list of food that you can bring to feed all the animals is at the end of the “your visit” section at www.winterpast.org.

You can also hold and brush and pet animals at Winterpast Farm. Right now our two week old baby goats, VIOLET and THOMAS, are very popular for snuggling!
