The bad news – It was quite a disaster when our mature apple tree blew over in a storm.

All that is happening on the farm

Until the end of May we will be knocking a third off 20kg bags of small diameter logs and splits of bone dry Birch – perfect for outdoor cooking on wood fired ovens, bbq’s and firepits.
20kg for just £20 so stock up for the summer!
No need to worry about dubious sources; all our wood is sustainably grown here on the farm, harvested, processed and dried by ourselves and sold at the farm gate.
We don’t sell firewood. We planted our coppices for the production of craft woods and smoke woods for BBQ’s and smokers.
We do need to cut a minimum of coppice every year in order to maintain the rotation so, if we have a surplus of wood available in any given season, then we do offer to sell standing timber for others to process into firewood and season themselves.
The quantities involved will never be of interest to commercial operations but are often sought out by local individual DIY producers who enjoy producing their own wood fuel and saving a few pounds.
It takes time to get wood chunks ready for use. This Cherry was harvested in 2016, Split into lengths in 2018 and, today, sawn into chunks ready for sale in summer 2023.
We nearly ran out of Cherry chunks during lockdown but are now fully stocked again of both ready to burn chunks and cherry logs seasoning for future use.

It’s that time of year to start preparing the wood ready for next years barbeques.
We grow our own alder and have had these logs air drying for the two years since they were harvested from our own coppice which was planted specifically for this purpose.
The split logs will now be barn stored prior to sale which will be no earlier than the spring of next year.
Logs will be cut to length to suit most popular smoker firebox sizes but some will be cut to the length specified by the customer and others will be cut up as smaller alder wood chunks for adding a subtle wood smoke flavour when placed on BBQ charcoals.
