Products & Materials

GIOVINO Farms specializes in premium hardwood species that burn hot and clean. Our oak firewood provides excellent coaling properties and long burn times, while hickory delivers intense heat perfect for cooking and extended heating needs. Maple offers steady, consistent burning ideal for overnight fires, and cherry adds aromatic qualities prized by BBQ enthusiasts and wood-fired pizza operations.

All firewood is available in multiple formats: full cords (128 cubic feet) for serious wood burners, face cords for moderate users, and convenient bundles for camping and occasional use. Our split logs are sized consistently for easy stacking and efficient burning, while our premium kindling ensures reliable fire starting even in challenging conditions.

Every piece of wood is seasoned to optimal moisture content, typically 18-20%, ensuring maximum BTU output and minimal smoke production. This attention to proper seasoning means cleaner burning, better heat output, and less creosote buildup in chimneys and wood stoves.

Serving the Clayton, Georgia Area

Clayton sits at the heart of North Georgia’s abundant hardwood forests, where generations of families have perfected the art of firewood production. The area’s elevation and climate create ideal conditions for growing dense hardwoods like oak and hickory, while the mountain environment provides natural seasoning conditions that produce superior burning wood prized throughout the Southeast.

Tips for First-Time Buyers

• Call ahead during peak season (October-February) to ensure your preferred wood species and quantities are available
• Bring a truck or trailer for pickup orders – hardwood is heavy and a face cord typically weighs 1,500-2,000 pounds
• Ask about moisture content testing to verify seasoning quality before purchase
• Consider mixing species: oak for long burns, hickory for high heat, and cherry for cooking applications
• Plan storage space before delivery – properly stacked firewood needs adequate air circulation to maintain dryness
• Order early for winter heating needs as demand peaks during cold snaps
