NASCOW IS BACK! NASCOW started in 2020 during the pandemic but was so popular folks asked to make it an annual event. Please help Friends of Frying Pan Farm Park again this year to raise essential funds by sponsoring a cow in their third annual, NASCOW Fundrace.
NASCOW is a real race with actual COWS! It takes place Friday November 4, 9 am at Frying Pan Farm Park in Herndon VA.

Congratulations to our employees in residence - Lyle and Daisy the barn cats! They have been nominated as employees of the year for their dedicated work, keeping the mice under control.
Since the day they were adopted by the farm, Lyle and Daisy have enjoyed a lifestyle suited to their personalities. They have freedom to roam, and lots of fans who adore them. The farmers care for the cats, just as they do for the other farm animals – with a careful diet, four season shelter, vet visits, and vaccines. We love you, Lyle and Daisy!!
