Agroforestry is an important aspect of our overall farm management, and we do offer some forest products for sale. We generate mostly cedar products due to its abundance on areas we’re clearing or restoring for pasture, though we do cut hardwoods at times as part of our long-term plan for forest improvement.

Primary products available for sale include:

- Cedar lumber, custom-milled to ordered dimensios. Cedar is highly rot-resistant yet soft enough to work easily, and can be used for a variety of building projects. We’ve sold lumber to folks building backyard sheds and raised garden beds as well as framing or siding barns, and use it regularly on our farm as well for everything from small cabinetry to barn-building. We generally charge $2/board foot for custom-milled lumber, especially wider planks or structural pieces. Availability is seasonal (mostly mid-winter to early spring) and must be planned well in advance to coordinate with logging work and scheduled milling dates, but please contact us if interested in using local wood products in your next small or medium-sized project.

- Cedar posts. We use a large quantity of unmilled cedar logs as fenceposts and basic structural pieces around the farm, as they’re quite rot-resistant in contact with soil. If you’re planning a garden fence or other basic project, consider contacting us first to use locally-harvested posts. Also seasonal, though requiring less planning than lumber milling.

- Cedar firewood. Though cedar should not be used with indoor fireplaces/stoves as it can soot up a chimney, its hot and quick burn is quite effective with outdoor stoves where chimney length is minimal. We generate quite a bit of scrap wood, including stump cut-offs, milling scraps, and other oddly-shaped pieces that work well in outdoor furnaces.
