The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds has come.
Throw back to January 1 2018 when HENRY had just arrived at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo after his human family , who had ordered him online, found they were highly allergic to their new pet. Farmer Mary took him to visit her oldest son who is a volunteer firefighter with Northern Wake Fire Department. We keep meaning to reenact this photo now that HENRY is big at 4 years old.

OREO the Lionhead bunny had a great vacation with a local family through Farmer Mary’s unique Pet Hosting Program.
The program recycles existing pets and gives people of all ages a chance to try out a small caged pet before purchasing one. And about 98 percent decide NOT to purchase a small caged pet after a highly informative week of hosting. This cuts down the number of animals that end up in shelters or donated to Winterpast Farm.
“Rent for a week and get over it” says Farmer Mary. You can read more at the Pet Hosting pages at winterpast.org. Thank you for helping spread the word to all your animal loving friends. Bunnies, guinea pigs, hedgehogs available. In the spring baby chicks and occasionally baby ducklings are available.
🐇🐥🦆Winterpast Farm is closed tomorrow. Farmer Mary hopes to be open again on Thursday but please check the 8am posted weather update🤞.
