The Cooper Barn

The Cooper Barn was built in 2023, inspired by the gambrel barns of the 1920s at Parker Farm and Vineyard. Named after our late family patriarch, Nelson Cooper Parker; our barn is the perfect place to share our farm and favorite views with visitors.

Convenient to Hillsborough and the surrounding Triangle area, the farm offers both privacy and accessibility, making it a practical choice for events that want the feel of North Carolina’s countryside without being far from town. We are just 15 minutes from Hillsborough, 20 minutes from Roxboro and 25 minutes from Durham.

Vaulted ceilings, exposed trusses and dimmable chandeliers create a cozy atmosphere for up to 125 guests. Equipped with turned leg farm tables and pressed-back chairs as well as a bridal dressing loft, permanent guest restrooms, thoughtful landscaping and ample lit parking.

Tours

We can’t wait to show you around!

Barn tours for upcoming events can be scheduled a week or two out and take between 30-45 minutes.

Want to see our property without hosting an event? Reach out to schedule a private farm tour for large or small groups. You’ll have the chance to hear about our operation and the crops we raise, take photos, see cattle and and hear about how our farm is working to sustain itself for future generations.
