🐰Summer time is alot more fun with a temporary pet to learn about and care for‼️A local family enjoyed starting their summer with sweet MOCHA the lop eared bunny from Winterpast Farm in Wake Forest NC.
🐰MOCHAis the daughter of GOLDIE and CAPPUCHINO who the petstore said were both girls. her brother PANCAKE and her parents moved to Winterpast farm a while ago. Please don’t trust the teen who probably started work last week at the pet store to determine gender!
✋Please don’t buy pet bunnies. “Rent for a week and get over it” says Farmer Mary. About 99 percent who rent a rabbit from Winterpast farm DO get over the whole idea of “owning “ a small caged pet.
🐰🦔Have a week long highly educational animal experience then bring it back to Farmer Mary! Find out how much a small caged pet can poop 💩 ‼️SONIC the hedgehog is also a popular rental. Find out that a pet hedgehog is about as exciting as a pet rock 🪨. Then bring him back to the farm.
📲TEXT Farmer Mary at 919-244-1800 to set up a pet hosting experience. Or to set up a farm visit to come meet all the bunnies and guinea pigs and pucknone out for a rental later this summer.

Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo closed several months ago due to a long unwanted land dispute with Farmer Mary’s older sister. Unfortunately the court “awarded” Farmer Mary the side of the farm without a street entrance, without a parking lot, without a barn, without any pasture for animals and without a well for water.
Farmer Mary very sadly had to rehome CLAIRE donkey , all the goats 🐐 , all the sheep 🐑 ; the emu, and the pigs 🐖
Farmer Mary is VERY busy creating Winterpast2.0. Volunteer help of all sorts is VERY welcome as we rebuild and rebrand. Please Text if you have some time to help. Teens need Community Service hours?? She will update the website very soon.

🐐🐐The Farmer’s Daughter and Farmer Mary have always greatly enjoyed providing service to their community along with the animals at Winterpast Farm in Wake Forest NC.
☀️This morning they took their 7 week old Golden Retriever puppies🦮🦮 🦮🦮to visit the children living at Hilltop Home in Raleigh🏠This residential intermediate care facility is home for medically fragile kids with significant motor and cognitive disabilities. Last month they took baby goats🐐🐐 to visit and plans are to take some of the 🐰 🐇from Winterpast for a visit later this month.
👍🏽If YOU have any sweet animals and would like to volunteer to take them for a brief visit with these children who really need some outside enrichment please text Farmer Mary at 9192441800 who will put you in touch with the Director. A visit like that sure puts things in perspective. 🥰
🐰🐰Farmer Mary already suggested visiting to a kind regular young farm volunteer who adopted two bunnies from Winterpast Farm who she has harness trained. She and her Mother enjoyed visiting the children last month.
🥰Seeing the really serious lifelong disabilites these children live with and meeting the very kind caring staff was a great way for Farmer Mary to spend the morning away from her own current troubles at Winterpast Farm.
👩🏼🌾And a great chance to remind the Farmer’s Daughter, who was living in a special needs orphanage in Russia 🇷🇺before Farmer Mary adopted her at age 7, that there are children with MUCH more serious disabilities than her own. #blessedlife #winterpastfarm #hilltophouse #volunteer #goldenpuppies #goldenretriever #goldenlife #farmermary #farmersdaughter #communityservice #goldenretrieverpuppies #puppies #ncgoldens #goldenlife #goldenretrievers #spreadingjoy
