WINTERPAST FARM is……..a place to be outdoors with family and friends

……A ten acre family farm near Falls Lake (formerly a tobacco farm, a Christmas tree farm, and a horse farm)

……An animal sanctuary where llamas, goats, sheep, emu, a pony, several types of duc klings, peacocks, a goose, pigs and lots of bunnies and chickens all co-exist peacefully

WINTERPAST FARM is….home.   Farmer Mary and her two sons, Ben and Thomas, moved to Winterpast Farm from downtown Raleigh the summer of 2003.  Two years later they adopted Elizabeth and Alex from Stavropol Russia.

……A place for families, students  (pre-schools, public school groups, home schoolers) any anyone else who wants spend time outside enjoying nature and learning about animals and their behaviors

……A campground for Scout and church groups which includes bonfires, rocket launching, fresh eggs from the barn for breakfast (and occasional really early wakeup calls by roosters all named Bob)

……A unique place for fur children (usually dogs, but we’ve kept chickens and rabbits and birds) s of all sizes to spend the day or spend the night (or spend several weeks!) living in a family environment while their own family is away or busy

……a place where kids can stomp in the mud, make noise, pile up rocks, bang sticks on fences, roll down hills in a huge plastic tube, ride a pony, search the barn for chicken eggs or the pasture for enormous emu eggs…

See some eggs of all sizes and colors!

……a popular place for birthday parties for cowboys and cowgirls from ages 3-10. Farm birthday parties are great for all ages.  Farmer Mary can also bring animals to your home if you prefer to host your party there.

Hope you come visit us soon! Take home some fresh eggs!

marymomfarmerhotmail.com is the best way to get in touch with Farmer Mary to schedule a farm visit or party or to ask more questions or request more photos.  See WinterpastFarm on Facebook for current photos and comments from visitors.

Please don’t drop by-Farmer Mary is the only one working the farm (with the help of her teens) and she’s generally busy with farm tours, parties or her children.  The exception is former visitors are very welcome to drive up by the barn any time and feed the animals over the fence…they love treats including bread, crackers, popcorn, cereal, apples, melons, carrots…almost anything but meat or cheese or things that have turned “blue”.
