Try Treehuggers Farms in Westmoreland.

I was just going to recommend them. They have several large units on site which seasons the wood in short order. Not going to be cheap, though.

What's the average price for a seasoned cord?

Also curious what this years rate is for a cord.

I process my own, but like to calculate 'How much I saved.' ... Helps me justify not growing tomatoes and paying $7 at the local farmers market.... LOL

TH is charging $440/cord. Patten Energy is charging $4.19/gallon for #2 fuel oil for comparison. I got lucky this year and was given the opportunity to clear wood from someone’s land. All I had to pay was gas for my saw and put the time in.

Well, I don’t know what the average rate is at this point, but Treehuggers is charging $440/cord seasoned.

Edit: I recommended them because they seem to be the only ones in Cheshire County who does kiln-dried seasoned wood. I’m sure there are others who have naturally seasoned wood, but their prices tend to be around the same.

Thanks for the info, that actually seems pretty reasonable compared to other prices I've seen floating around.

I just reached out to a friend who recently purchased seasoned wood from a smaller processor not far from Treehugger’s and she paid $280/cord in mid August. If you DM me, I can share the contact info with you. I don’t think he would appreciate me posting it here for everyone to see.

I just got cord of seasoned for $350 from a place in Wilton.

The guy is on 101. It’s next to the House by the side of the road place that sells plants and Xmas trees.
