Grandma Barstow passed away in 2017, but her legacy lives on in many ways – including the recipe book at Barstow’s.
Grandma kept a diary of her life beginning at age 13. The entries recount her daily routines, doing the wash, mopping the floors, visiting with family, baking cookies, pies, or cakes. In October of 1994 she notes that she’s made 10,000 cookies so far – just in that year.

National Drive Thru Day 2022
2022-07-24 08:00 - 17:00
Happy National Drive Thru Window Day! (yes it’s a thing!)
When we opened up Barstow’s Dairy Store and Bakery in 2008, we left many scratching their heads…. a drive thru window at a farmstand? We wanted to best serve our community: commuters, dog owners, parents with kiddos in car seats, and all.
The drive thru window was frequented in the morning by a few regulars and a convenient stop for lunch or a milkshake on the go. That is until March 2020….
During the early months of the COVID19 health emergency, Barstow’s Dairy Store and Bakery had transitioned fully to drive thru service only.
Now that some bit of normalcy is back in our lives, Barstow’s is open inside for ordering, shopping, and dining – but our drive thru remains open!
It is easy to visit our drive thru window. Simply stop at the speaker at the top of the hill to check out our menu and place your order. We ask that you please stop at that speaker even if you’ve ordered ahead. Once you get the all clear, pull on up to the window where we can ring you out and get you your goodies! From there, you’re welcome to enjoy your meal at home, or pull back around via 47 to the parking area and outdoor seating.
We are glad to take your call about what is in stock at Barstow’s Dairy Store and Bakery (413) 586-2142. And of course, happy to take your call ahead orders.
