Products & Materials

Beyond firewood, their sawmill produces lumber, dimensional wood, and custom millwork, while their tree service division ensures sustainable harvesting practices and fresh wood supply directly from local properties.

Tips for First-Time Buyers

• Visit during fall months for best selection and pricing before peak heating season demand
• Ask to see moisture meter readings – properly seasoned wood should test below 20% moisture
• Inspect wood for proper splitting and absence of mold, rot, or excessive bark
• Calculate your needs: one full cord typically heats 1000-1200 square feet for a full winter
• Arrange delivery well ahead of when you need the wood, especially during busy fall season
