🐐🐖🐓D.I.Y. Farm visits now available🐖🐐🐓

🦮Farmer Mary is busy hanging close to Golden Retriever PUMPKIN PIE who is expected to birth a litter of puppies any day now.
🐐With new baby goats in the barnyard it’s very hard to turn away possible farm visitors. Pictured is QUEEN ELIZABETH with her darling two day old son PRINCE WILLIAM.
So, if you have visited before and know how to park at a pig 🐷, where to pay at the gate ($10/person cash only exact change only), how to open the front gate and CLOSE it behind you and how to open the gate to the pasture NOT letting ANY dogs into the pasture and CLOSE the gate behind you then you are welcome to text Farmer Mary (NO voicemails only texts) at 919-244-1800 and arrange a time for a D.I.Y. farm visit this week. Any daylight time fine
👍🏽More rules: watch your children. Close gates you open. Do not expect Farmer Mary to set out feed buckets or knives to cut animal food. You can take small items of food into the barnyard to feed the Mother goats, donkey, pig, emu (Hold your hand flat for the very nice emu and don’t offer food items wider than their throat), DO NOT OFFER FOOD TO BABY GOATS who could choke to death and die. Read that last line again.
Feel free to wander the back woods. If you take a baby goat out there bring it back! Don’t let small children pick up and drop baby goats. Have small children sit on one of the goat platforms (you can see both in picture) on logs or on chairs and a grownup can help them to hold a fragile baby goat.
🦮Feel free to bring dog treats. Just say hi to any dogs you see as you open the gate and keep going. And CLOSE THE GATE. Don’t let dogs out the front gate.
Hand washing is through the open doorway of the barn. Sink is immediately visible of you look right.
Send some farm pics and videos to Farmer Mary and she will post. This could be the start of more DIY here especially early mornings and evenings that people have asked for.
👍🏽If you think you can handle the responsibility please text Farmer Mary to suggest a date and time. Today is fine the animals are lonesome for company.🐐🐓🐖
👍🏽Thank you for supporting a small local farm family animal rescue Golden Retriever breeder.

🐖VISIT WINTERPAST FARM

Winterpast Farm started back in 2003 when Farmer Mary moved from downtown (Cameron Park) Raleigh after a divorce. Then she started to collect animals. Her Mother had always told her “You can have as many dogs and animals as you want after you grow up”. About a year later someone called asking about the “Petting Zoo”. Farmer Mary googled Petting Zoos and read about a “Farmer John” and decided she would be Farmer Mary. And twenty years have gone by as she has lived out her childhood dream and enjoyed the opportunity to share her experiences with all ages farm visitors. Now the Farmer’s Daughter who Farmer Mary adopted twenty years ago from Russia at age 7 helps run the farm.
