Tarwater Farm & Mills
About Tarwater Farm & Mills
Tarwater Farm & Mills is a sawmill in Sevierville, Tennessee, serving Sevier County. It is not a timber buying service. It custom saws logs into rough sawn dimensional lumber, mantles, and slabs, and also does shingles and shakes. The mill keeps an assortment of logs "indigenous to East Tennessee" on hand, and you can also bring your own logs to be sawn. The mill can handle big material. It saws logs up to 41 inches across and 21 feet long on one machine, and up to 54.5 inches wide and 13 feet long on another for larger logs. Beyond sawing, Tarwater Farm & Mills dries lumber and mantles with an IDry vacuum kiln, and runs a separate firewood operation with custom processing, camping bundles, and specialty sizes and species for smoking. The business grew out of owner Jason Tarwater's purchase of a sawmill while preparing to retire from law enforcement, meant to help repair old farm buildings. It sits along Chapman Highway, where passing traffic became, in the owner's words, "the best advertising he never knew he needed." This is a mill for landowners who have logs to turn into lumber or firewood, not an outfit that comes out to appraise or buy standing timber. From tarwaterfarmandmills.com, read 3 October 2026.
