We are now open for the 2019 season!
Come on over for the best breakfast ever!
The Original Barn known as Parkers Maple Barn has been owned and operated by Ron & Sandy Roberts since 1987. Ron & Sandy came to Parkers Maple Barn for the same reasons most people come here into the woods, for the great food and to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. When Ron & Sandy overheard a conversation about the business being up for sale, they quickly inquired about it and within a few months the establishment was theirs.
Parkers Maple Barn is very well known throughout New England and beyond for their famous hearty breakfast menu served all the time. The "Parkers Maple Barn Special", a full breakfast including two pancakes, two eggs, two pieces of bacon, two sausage links and a piece of ham, home fries and thick homemade toast, served with Parkers Maple Barn PURE Maple Syrup has become a breakfast favorite. Lunch is served daily with entrees such as Fresh Haddock, Maple Baked Ham and Beans or Roast Turkey Dinner. Homemade soups and chowders make for a great beginning to your meal! Another famous favorite is the Maple Glazed Baby-Back Pork Ribs. Slow cooked for several hours with Parkers Maple Barn own Maple Syrup results in tender and sweet pork that falls off the bone!
Maple Syrup is made right here at Parkers Maple Barn. Come in February or early March and you will find Maple Syrup being made the old-fashioned way, with a wood fired evaporator. Maple Syrup was first made by Native Americans using hot rocks placed into hollowed-out logs full of sap. Later, as European settlers arrived they brought with them steel kettles to cook with and these soon replaced the log kettles. Parkers Maple Barn Sugar House still believes that cooking with a wood fire keeps the traditional ways alive and gives the Maple Syrup a distinct flavor. You may enjoy a tour of the operation (free to the public) on weekends throughout Sugar Season. Group tours are available weekdays by appointment, for a fee.
A short walk from the restaurant, through a little covered footbridge (actually it`s an antique corncrib, used for storing ears of corn in the old days) is the unique Corn Crib Gift Shop. Here you will find a complete line of maple products along with a fine selection of gifts. Many candles with fabulous scents are available. There is a wonderful selection of toys, jams and jellies, pottery, cards and some great seasonal gift items. There`s a nice selection of sterling silver jewelry, unique drums and dreamcatchers as well as apparel, hard to find books, music and much more!
