Winterpast Farm has hosted pre-schools, Scout goups, Mom groups, Homeschooler groups and public school groups. One time we had 150 second graders here! Farmer Mary hired a few farmer and a forestor friend to help that time! There is plenty of parking and school buses can get in and out easily.
2017 The animals of Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo drew record crowds tonight (Dec 23) at the second night of Live Nativity at Hayes Barton Baptist Church in Raleigh.

👍🏽Farmer Mary was blessed with a great Father/Son duo of volunteers today at Winterpast Farm in Wake Forest NC‼️All of Farmer Mary’s dogs helped🙂.Then a great Mother/Son team showed up and almost all the bunny🐰 cages got moved to the new bunny area. We found cute families of mice 🐭 and some other creatures. 👍🏽Teamwork was amazing and volunteers were rewarded with Golden Retriever🦮 puppy snuggles and a chance to help move baby chicks that had just returned from a school hatching project. 🐣🐥Farmer Mary is always happy to give fertile eggs to schools to hatch. 🐥Tomorrow the same chicks will attend a Birthday party in Raleigh.
👍🏽We still have concrete squares, rocks, t-posts, fencing and a really big bunny pen to move. Also fencing to install. Come help Saturday from 8am Farmer Mary will be outside. Around 1:45 Farmer Mary takes animals to a home Birthday party in Raleigh. Sunday will be another volunteer work day at Winterpast Farm from 8. Text Farmer Mary at 919-244-1800 to let her know when to expect you. Bring a wheelbarrow, drill or other tools.
🐠In the morning five big goldfish who have outgrown their home are moving to the Winterpast Farm pond.

😳Farmer Mary’s sister has hired a temporary fence company to totally block the entrance to Winterpast Farm. A guy came out to the farm today to do the initial spray painting .
🙈This fence will block the trailer coming to pick up the remaining goats and emu. It will block the portojohn from being picked up. It will block more planned dump runs. Such a vindictive and totally unnecessary move when she could be spending her money fencing the entire length of the back pasture.
🛻🪚Farmer Mary really needs help immediately to move cages and bunny hutches, to take down fencing and put up more fencing. Thoughts and prayers don’t get fences built or bunnies homes settled.
🌿🌱We also need help clearing thick vines from the steep slope out front to allow Duke Power to install a new pole. Chainsaw help is needed to clear a path behind Farmer Mary’s house to allow access to the new Forest Dog (and Forest Child) Private Playground.

🦮🦮🦮Winterpast Farm Golden Retriever litter mates 💛Yellow girl BELLA, 💚Green boy PEABODY and ❤️Red boy TAKODA met up yesterday at The Zoom Room in Wake Forest NC. Families, Farmer Mary and the dogs had a great private play session. 🥰🦮 They all look alot like their Dad HENRY and Mom PUMPKIN PIE. Great smiles!😃

👍🏽Perhaps next time the puppies and their other siblings can meet up at Farmer Mary’s soon to be opened🌳 🌲Forest Dog Private Playground at Winterpast Farm‼️Stay tuned for Grand Opening news.
🐐🐖🐓Farmer Mary has enjoyed sharing her animals with ALOT of farm visitors at Winterpast farm in wake Forest NC. 🥰She appreciates when happy visitors send her visit pics from over the years (two years apart) like these!
😢A long unwanted legal land battle with Farmer Mary’s older sister is coming to a dramatic close. Court has ridiculously divided the land lengthwise “awarding” Farmer Mary the side with her house. 🤔That side has NO driveway, NO parking lot, NO barn, NO flat land, NO sunny pasture, NO way to have any barnyard animals, oh and NO well.
👩🎨Farmer Mary’s oldest sister from Chicago showed up unannounced lately and spray painted lines for what looks like a new front gate at the entrance she plans to install to lock Farmer Mary out. She is also threatening to turn off the water and electricity.
🐐Goats QUEEN ELIZABETH and her darling son PRINCE WILLIAM and CARAMEL CREAM and her darling son DANIEL and PRINCESS and her darling son OREO all moved to another farm today along with our beloved CLAIRE donkey. The other goats have scheduled birthday and church events over the next few days then they will be joining them along with the emu. Catching emu is on the list; want to volunteer to help?!. While we are blessed to have them all go to the same very good new home, it is equally heart breaking 💔 knowing the animals idyllic life at Winterpast Farm is ending.
🐖🐓🐐Winterpast Farm is therefore CLOSED for visits. Volunteers needed asap from dawn to dusk to help move alot of fencing, catch the emu, move pens, picnic tables etc to the other side. Please text Farmer Mary at 919-244-1800 if you have any free time to help with projects including dump runs.
🐕Farmer Mary plans on opening a private 4 acre fenced 🌲Forest Dog Private Playground soon. Rent by the hour. Please text 9192441800 to get more information and to be informed of Grand Opening date.
🌳🌲Also a Private Forest Playground for children and homeschool (for example) groups. Hammocks, mud kitchen, climbing ropes…
🦮Puppy Snuggling opportunities.
📖Story Times with Farmer Mary to meet animals like SONIC the hedgehog 🦔, the bunnies 🐰 , the guinea pigs, and baby chicks 🐥. We will also still rent small animals.
😢A long unwanted legal land battle with Farmer Mary’s older sister is coming to a dramatic close and the courts have ridiculously divided the land lengthwise “awarding” Farmer Mary the side with her house. 🤔Like a nearly empty nester really needs a huge house! That side has NO driveway, NO parking lot, NO barn, NO flat land, NO sunny pasture, NO way to have any barnyard animals, oh and NO well. Driveway estimates on building a new entrance the worst most dangerous curve of Ghoston Road $10,000 well estimates $50,000. Farmer Mary has no funds for either project.
👩🎨This morning Farmer Mary’s oldest sister from Chicago showed up unannounced and spray painted lines for what looks like a new front gate at the entrance she plans to install to lock Farmer Mary out.
🐐🐖Farmer Mary has been very busy trying to come up with prices for her beloved CLAIRE donkey, the emu, all the goats including the babies. 🐐🐐🐐Another farm is interested and catching emu is on the list. It is heart breaking 💔 knowing the animals idyllic life at Winterpast Farm will be ending.
