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.

MABEL and CLAIRE the mini donkeys stay all three nights in the barn but Farmer Mary picks a pair of goats and pair of sheep to accompany...

Many local photographers rent bunnies from Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC this time of year for photo shoots.
🐰🐰Local families also host bunnies around Easter instead of buying a pet they will most likely grow weary of caring for. This means fewer bunnies ending up at Wake County Animal Shelter! Read more at “Pet Hosting” at winterpast.org.
🐰🐰Young Lionhead brothers CLOUD and SMOKE are especially popular this year! Farmer Mary highly recommends Deanna Decker for family portraits like this one. (https://www.deannadecker.com/contact )
🦃Winterpast Farm will be OPEN FRIDAY for visits 10- 5.

🌧It looks like this off and on off and on rain will close Winterpast Farm for visits today. And tomorrow. One good thing is the rain will make the trees 🌲 grow faster which makes great shade here for the summer.
🌳 JULIE and PUMPKIN PIE don’t mind rainy days at all. As long as they are hanging out with the Farmers Daughter life is good at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC. They are happily having a stay in bed Sunday today after they “helped” Farmer Mary set up the petting zoo this morning only to turn right around and re-cover all the cages and put away everything before the rain began❤️
🐐Sometimes changes in weather brings on births so Farmer Mary will hang out in the old tobacco barn watching to see if QUEEN ELIZABETH the goat finally gives birth. Stay tuned for news of any new “kids” arriving. Farmer Mary thinks she will have twins🐐🐐 or possibly triplets.🐐🐐🐐
🐓We hope you will schedule a farm visit on a nicer day. Come meet the whole family of guinea pigs who moved here today. DO NOT buy “same sex” guinea pig pairs at pet stores‼️ Farmer Mary has a steady stream of “The pet store said they were both girls (or boys)” couples now living here with ALL their children. All are available for hosting and some for adoption by intelligent folks.
👍🏽Please take advantage of Farmer Mary’s unique “Rent for a week and get over it” Pet Hosting Program” which allows you to host a small caged pet in your home. 🐇Bunnies, guinea pigs, 🦔SONIC the hedgehog. Find out how much they poop then bring them back‼️Pairs of bunnies and guinea pigs are also available for hosting since Farmer Mary DOES know how to determine gender. Please tell your animal loving friends about our pet recycling program. This will limit the number who end up “donated” (dumped) at Winterpast Farm where Farmer Mary quite magically is assumed to have enough cages and food and hay and time and love for them all. #rentdontshop #recycleexistingpets #winterpastfarm #wakeforestnc #animalrescue #pettingzoo #dogs #goldenretriever #lotsofdogshere #ncfarm #animals #rainyday
