Is Our Farm Ready for Winter? The Final Preparations!
Winter is coming to The 10 Acre Woods! 🍂🐴 With temperatures dropping, leaves falling, and the first cold mornings arriving, we're making sure our animal rescue farm is ready for the long Manitoba winter.
Join Mark and Tara for a look around the farm as we check on the ponies, visit Charlie the pig, watch our growing ducklings, and make sure our animals have everything they need for the colder months ahead. Tara has been busy getting shelters and outdoor areas ready, and we're checking off those final jobs before snow arrives!
