The farm raises beef, pork, chicken, turkeys, and eggs on the same property as the store at 76320 Memphis Ridge Road. This is a meat business, not a timber one. It does not saw logs, buy standing timber, or buy tracts from landowners. The farm was established in 2012 and grows its own corn, soybeans, wheat, and hay on about 2100 acres. The animals are fed a non-GMO grain and hay diet from crops grown on the farm. When they are ready, they are taken to a USDA inspected facility for processing, and the store holds a retail food license. The store also sells local sourdough, goat milk, tallow products, honey, maple syrup, and self-serve straw and hay. The store describes its meat as "Quality Farm-Raised Meat." In 2023 the farm won the Best Beef in the West competition in Wyoming with 315 points out of 360. Store hours are Monday to Friday from 11am to 5pm, Saturday from 10am to 2pm, and closed Sunday. This suits a landowner who wants farm-raised meat, eggs, or straw from a family farm in Macomb County, not one who needs timber sold or cut. From sawmillcreekfarmsllc.com, read 8 October 2026.

How much is my timber worth in Macomb County?
Nobody can tell you what your timber is worth without walking it. Value depends on the species, the size and grade of the trees, how thickly they stand, the ground conditions and how easily a logger can reach them. Anyone who quotes you a figure without seeing the land is guessing, and a guess in that direction is rarely in your favour.
What stumpage value means →Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in Macomb County?
You do not have to use one. A consulting forester works for you rather than the buyer, marks the timber, runs a sealed-bid sale and typically charges a percentage of the sale. Research from several state extension services has found that timber sold through a consultant often returns enough more to cover the fee, though results vary by tract and by market. The decision usually turns on the size of the sale and whether you have sold timber before.
