Canton maple farmer to be featured on Glenn Beck radio program

CANTON -- Josh Parker, CEO of Parker Maple Farm, will appear live on the Glenn Beck Radio Program Monday, June 15 at 11:05 a.m.

The program can be found online at www.theblaze.com/shows/the-glenn-beck-radio-program .

This spring, the 17-year-old businessman was accepted by Clarkson University’s Reh Center for Entrepreneurship into its Young Entrepreneurs Program, an annual competition in which up to five young entrepreneurs or innovators have an opportunity to attend Clarkson through a combination of merit-based financial aid (after accounting for other aid for which the student may be eligible) and the acquisition by the University of an ownership interest in their business ventures, in lieu of tuition payments.

Parker, who'll major in supply chain management, will be a member of the incoming class of the Clarkson School, the University’s early college entrance program.

Parker started his business in 2009 at 11-years-old, when he borrowed 15 buckets and produced three pints of maple syrup in his mother's kitchen. In 2014, his business harvested sap from 3,500 taps and produced maple syrup using reverse osmosis and a new wood pellet boiler.
