🐐Meet the baby goats at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC. Introducing CINDY LOU who is one of the quadruplets born on Feb 10. She was the “little runt girl” who almost didn’t survive. Her Mom is BETSY. She loves snuggles and sneaking out of the barn yard to beg for treats from farm visitors. Tiny bits of carrot and apple are ok but nothing bigger than a cheerio please! CINDY LOU and her brothers OREO and PATRICK and sister ELEANOR are still nursing and can choke on larger food.

When Farmer Mary bought this vintage trailer she planned to turn it into an AirBnB for spending nights at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC. It quickly became the Farmers Daughters Zoom remote classroom when Covid brought her home early from AppState and then became storage. Work is beginning again on turning it into space to rent. Stay tuned!
