I definitely recommend both the tour and of course the breakfast. I shared the cherry cream cheese filled French toast served – DIVINE! I also had my first ham hash which is also without a doubt a winner. We then went in for a delicious breakfast. The demonstration on how the Native Americans did it was fascinating, as well as using a hydrometer to determine the sugar content and the talk about how the syrup is filtered. I learned far more than I ever thought I would. The tour at Parker’s Maple Barn was without a doubt the best maple syrup tour I have ever had. I have lived in New England and been on many a maple syrup operation tour over the years, as well as making maple syrup at home myself. Thank you to Cathy our tour guide, Stephanie our server, and Tanya and Sue for making this tour possible! It was a delightful, informative and very delicious morning! We will go back and will recommend to family, friends and to others we meet at volunteer opportunities. Here is some feedback from our GSAs who were able to attend: I know I recommend Parker’s to friends and guests any chance I get! Thank you to Tanya Roberts, Co-director of Operations, for her help to set up a very delightful morning. Some of us were able to do some shopping in their gift shop, the Corn Crib, a great place for anyone who is looking for NH-related gifts. Everyone I talked to loved their breakfast. We were a large group, but Shawn and Stephanie were able to accommodate us with efficiency and smiles. Our guide, Cathy, was amazing! Since Parker’s doesn’t have as many trees to tap as they’d like, they are able use trees from neighboring properties, including hers! After the tour, we had a fabulous breakfast. However, it was still a fabulous tour with a lot of history and a complete description of the process. Unfortunately, it was a little late in the season, so we weren’t able to get the full experience. What a treat!! We started with a guided tour of their 19th century Sugar House. Recently a group of GSAs had the pleasure of enjoying a Sugar Party at Parker’s Maple Barn in Mason, NH. By: Sue Geyer, Currier Museum of Art GSA Class of 2010
