Firewood for Sale--from Sow's Ear to a Silk Purse
Posted by Harland;s Creek Farm :: Tuesday, November 27 :: 11:12am
Harland's Creek Farm is selling firewood this fall and winter. We have oak and hickory. Hurricanes and blustery weather have knocked down trees over the past two years. Unfortunately. the recent ones also destroyed crops. Thus, our efforts to turn a sow's ear (the damage from hurricanes) into a silk purse (sales of wood to warm you from the outside rather than food that nurtures you from within).
Currently, we are cutting a large oak that came down in Hurricane Matthew two years ago and an oak that fell last winter across the path behind Judy's that runs into the woods. The hickories have only been down for about two months, and we are waiting to cut them. However, if you need a little hickory for making hickory smoked meats and veggies on your grill, we can cut some for you because the greener wood is better for smoking.
We deliver by the truckload which contains about a half-cord. Below are pictures and prices:
Hickory and Oak
$200 delivered/stacked -- $160 customer pick-up

Judy started HCF. She develops meal plans for the CSAs, maintains our website, and writes our blog. Judy is now in her seventies, and you are not likely to see her at our early morning markets, because she is sleeping in.
Erasmo worked part-time on the farm for years, He became a partner in 2016 and lives in Siler City. You can meet him at the Saturday Durham Farmers' market on alternate Saturdays. He is active in all aspects of the farm, is our main tractor guy, and is transitioning into doing the book-keeping. He and his wife Yoli work on the farm. Also, you can find them at the Durham Farmers' Market with their son Michael who is a math-wise.
We are a great team.
