10 Days of Summer: Time for Milking Cows and Feeding Farm Animals — Even if You’re in the City
When is the end of summer? Not until you spend a day on the farm.
by Greg Hambrick
Farms are usually known for fall festivals, corn mazes and pumpkin patches. But there’s still a lot to do to wrap up the summer, and you can help. Today, Thursday, Sept. 12, your family can spend some time at Frying Pan Farm Park in Herndon.
The last day of summer is Sept. 21. Or, you can look at it this way: The first day of fall is Sept. 22. Patch has found something for you to do each day as we count down until summer passes us by.

The program at Frying Pan gives children a look at farm chores such as milking cows, feeding animals and shelling corn. Best for ages 2 and up, tickets are $5. The fun begins at 4 p.m. at Frying Pan Farm Park, 2709 W Ox Road.
The state has more resources to help you visit a Virginia farm.
