We get our fire wood from swift creek berry farm.. They deliver and stack..
However.. I couldn't tell you if they're sold out for the year yet.
We spent $200 for a truck load, and $2 a mile..
There's often an old dude in a red pick up full of wood in the parking lot of the brook and parham lowes/walmart but I don't know how much he's charging.. and i can't recall seeing him for the past couple of months after being out there all summer.
Best prices will always be the furthest out from winter obviously

I got some wood from Toasty's last year and it was sh!t. Green / wet, sloppy. Definitely not seasoned.

I order mine from Riverside Outfitters. It’s not seasoned, but I just order ~10-12 months in advance, and it’s good to go by the time I need it.

Goochland Rotary has a fire wood delivery service. They use the funds to support their Woodchuckers program that provides firewood to rural families in need of it to heat their homes. (Scroll down for Hardwood delivery info, not sure how frequently deliveries are made as it’s volunteer based)

If anyone on southside wants to come by my house and take a bunch of logs off my front yard... please dm me.
I cut down a massive red oak, and then our equipment to move the logs broke down. So it's been stuck out there for a couple weeks.
Not seasoned.

I used toastys too about 2 years ago before that big ice storm. It left me any my family cold after the power went out.

The red pickup is usually parked at Westmoreland and Patterson with his number as a heads up

Just saw the dude with the red pickup in the Lowes parking lot off Brook/Parham yesterday.

I might be interested

You know where it is!
Some of the 2 foot length logs were grabbed today. But plenty of long ones left to cut up.
Charlesinrichmond t1_j3tth0g wrote
Not a huge big deal, but I'll grab anything your neighbors don't if it's still there. My big chainsaws aren't around currently. Meant to take a look today but was insanely busy

Today after work I can go out there and cut up some more good logs. Theres still logs thats carryable out there. Just some of it is 4ft sections etc. Lots of branches and stuff though.
Charlesinrichmond t1_j3wqul1 wrote
4 ft is actually great by me.
If you stack branches in a pile by the trash cans the city will take them away. In their own sweet time, but...

Where was this posted? Prices good?

Not sure what you consider reasonable. But I’ve used both llama wood and Dave at Toastys and they’ve been reliable and seasoned. It’s pricey, but in my experience through CL and other venues, you get what you pay for. I do have a guy extremely affordable, but it’s unseasoned. I’ll call him in August when it’s got time to dry out.
