Ahhh…so cute! Can’t wait for our preschool students to see little baby Leia!

Please join us in welcoming this new baby calf to Frying Pan Farm Park! She was born yesterday, May 4, which is known as Star Wars Day. Her name is Leia, after Princess Leia from the Star Wars movies (who, in more recent films, has become General Leia.) You can see mom Helene and baby Leia the next time you visit Frying Pan.

(Please note: it is against park regulations for visitors to try to feed the farm animals. For everyone's health and safety, please do not offer any of the animals anything to eat. Thanks!)

Kidd Around Town: Frying Pan Farm Park

In case you missed this…it doesn’t get any cuter than this!

There are some new additions to Frying Pan Farm Park and today Kidd O'Shea took us Around Town to meet them! Check out more here!

10/04/2021

All kinds of fun on the farm! Check it out!!

Nine of Frying Pan's cows will compete in a real live race called -- you guessed it -- NASCOW! They'll be motivated to "race" across a field by one of their favorite treats: spent brewer's grain. This oatmeal-like substance is a byproduct of the beer-making process donated to the farm by local brewers. (No worries: it doesn't make the cows drunk.)

Frying Pan's friends group hopes to raise $50,000 from fans like you who sponsor your favorite cows in the race. Funds raised from NASCOW will be used to pay for food and vet care for almost 100 animals, and support the farm.

To keep everyone safe, the cows will race for the cameras instead of for a live audience. You'll be able to watch the NASCOW race online October 22.

For photos and bios of the cow contestants, and how to sponsor them, go to the NASCOW website: Friendsoffryingpan.org/NASCOW.

Beautiful weekend to be outside on the farm! Bring the family and enjoy the day!

Frying Pan Farm Park will be open all holiday weekend, July 2-5! As you enjoy our beautiful farm animals, please do not offer them anything to eat -- not even hay or grass.

Human hands carry lots of germs. Even clean hands have residue from soap, sanitizer, sunscreen and other chemicals. Imagine THOUSANDS of people handing our animals things to eat -- and passing along the chemicals or germs on their hands. Imagine those toxins building up inside the animals over time.

Please respect the farm animals and help keep them safe and healthy. Thanks!

Can’t wait for these newcomers to arrive!!

If you've ever given birth, you know that the last month of pregnancy can be the hardest. This is Florence, and she's in her last month of pregnancy now. She's set to deliver some time between now and June 20. She's belly buddies with two of our pigs, who are also pregnant and expected to deliver any day now.

Their offspring will join almost 100 other animals on the farm. That's a lot of hungry mouths to feed! If you can give any amount to help feed all our new moms and their babies and support the farm, please go to Bit.ly/3adfLyx. Thanks!
