Locally produced foods are of great importance to many around the United States and are a staple in the North Country. This food does not only bring business to local areas, but also allows the general public to see what many community members do for a living. Parkers Maple Farm has done just this in the center of Canton. For maple syrup season they have tapped numerous trees in Canton Park allowing passersby’s to revel in the production of a popular breakfast condiment. This endeavor will not only bring business to Parkers Maple Farm, but will ensure the continuance of local products in the North Country.
