Erb'n Roots nearly century-old renovated Big Barn boasts a custom-built banquet table. Available for reservation. Located in the Mid-Ohio Valley, in Marietta, OH near Parkersburg, WV.

In the Big Barn, built by our great-great Uncle Phillip. 

Inside, you can grab a trail map, a drink and a snack or a walking stick before heading out on your adventure. And if there are special events - a Mother’s Day tea, a whodunnit mystery or a scavenger hunt - you’ll want to stop by for your game pieces and instructions.

We also open the barn for classes and small, informal special events at our custom-built, 16-feet banquet table. For more information, contact us here.

Step outside to the barnyard to visit with the Highlands, led by matriarch Rosie. As a matter of respect and FOR YOUR SAFETY, keep the fence between you and them. Violators will be asked to immediately leave the property.

Additionally, if our frequent guests, Cocoa and Sugar are visiting, they’d love for you to give them some of that fresh clover.

New in 2024:

On special occasions, we'll convert our barnyard into a Sassy Heifer patio. Refuel with light snacks or refreshments with your dining companions - the Highlands.

Please don't share your munchies with them. They prefer pasture!
