👍🏽Farmer Mary has made ALOT of changes at Winterpast Farm after her sister decided to sell her half of the farm. 🙁We do NOT have goats or sheep or pigs or CLAIRE donkey or emu any more. BTW: Not a happy conversation topic here😥. Please don’t ask Farmer Mary where the goats 🐐are. Of course she rehomed all her large animals to wonderful new homes. Of course she isn’t particularly happy to talk about the past. You can read MANY very detailed old posts from earlier this year to learn more.
📭There is a new entrance just down the road from the old one at the same address. Please don’t turn down private Neasdon Road when your GPS says to. That greatly annoys the neighbors. Please look VERY closely for the new gravel entrance marked with a mailbox and yellow arrows at 12936 Ghoston Road. Farmer Mary suggest you tap your brakes a few times as you get close if a car is following you as it’s a VERY busy road at times. Look for the new entrance.
