About Elder's Forest Products

Elder's Forest Products is a sawmill and standing timber buyer out of Rockford, Michigan. They've been family owned and operated since 1981, and today the operation runs a full sawmill alongside the timber buying side. Here's how it works: you call and tell them about the timber you want to sell, they come out for an on-site estimate, and if you agree on a purchase they buy the standing timber and harvest it. They offer both clear cutting and select cutting, depending on what fits your land. They buy a long list of species, mostly maples, oaks, ash, walnut, cherry, basswood, and poplar, plus pines and other softwoods like spruce, hemlock, cedar, and tamarack. There's no acreage minimum stated, but their own listing points to "25+ Trees" as the bar for an on-site estimate and selective harvest, so a handful of marketable trees can be enough to get them out to look. They say they'll travel anywhere in Michigan depending on the type and amount of timber, though their base and primary service area is around Rockford in Kent County. This fits a landowner anywhere in Michigan with a stand of mixed hardwoods or pine who wants one buyer that will also mill the logs themselves, rather than broker the sale out.
