Independent Loggers

Kingdom Timber Logging & Forestry LLC is a logging and forestry company in Wolcott, Vermont. Logging is its main trade. It harvests timber for commercial and private landowners, cutting, processing and moving the trees to a location for transport. It also buys standing timber year-round and does land clearing, site work and tree care. It works across Northern Vermont, including Lamoille County and the Morristown and Wolcott area. A job starts with consultation and planning to meet your goals for the property. Then the crew carries out the plan through the harvest. Logging work can also add hiking and skiing trails, food plots, wildlife habitat and woods roads for owner access. Estimates are free on all its services. The company offers sugarbush consulting too, including a forest inventory and line layouts for maple syrup production. It is fully insured and holds Game of Logging certification and Logger Education to Advance Professionalism certification. It uses sustainable harvesting practices and will remove any size or type of tree. The smallest job on its pages is 46 acres of steep, ledgy, overgrown timber that the landowner found hard to reach. That figure comes from one customer's account. It suits a landowner near Wolcott or Morristown with a wooded tract, especially steep or hard-to-reach ground, who wants one outfit to plan the cut, log it, and handle clearing or trails afterward.

Emerson And Sons Logging, LLC is a family-owned logging outfit based in Groton, Vermont. They cut timber, buy logs, and do land clearing work for landowners in Caledonia County and beyond, across central Vermont and New Hampshire. They handle whole tree and selective harvesting, view enhancement cuts, timber estimates, trucking, land clearing, firewood, and chipping. They work in red pine, spruce, fir, and hardwood, and they sell into a range of markets including softwood saw logs, hardwood logs, veneer logs, pallet lumber, pulp, and chips. They say their work covers "From small scale projects to large parcels of forest land," and one landowner who hired them described a job where "they did a complete harvest on ten acres of red pine plantation," followed by thinning and clearing work on the same property. That ten-acre harvest is the smallest job they show, so it's a reasonable guide to the size of work they'll take on. They've been in business more than 30 years and are Master Logger Certified, a third-party program for forest management and job site standards. This fits a landowner in central Vermont or New Hampshire with a modest wooded lot, maybe ten acres or more, who wants one crew to handle harvesting, hauling, and cleanup without juggling separate buyers and loggers.

Bass Brook Farm & Forest is a logging and tree care business in Braintree, Vermont. It's a small, locally owned operation that uses both draft horses and small machinery to get the work done, picking whichever tool fits the job in front of it. The work covers saw log and firewood harvests, hazard tree removal, lot clearing, storm damage, view clearing, trail work, tractor work, and firewood harvesting and splitting, in both hardwood and softwood. Jobs run from wood lots of "a few acres to more than 100," and the business will work alongside foresters and landowners to carry out harvest plans, including harvests guided by current use management plans. It serves Orange County and describes its working area as central Vermont. It's Master Logger certified, a third-party program for timber harvesting companies. The person running it describes over a decade of experience using horse power for low-impact logging. What stands out here is the mix of horsepower and machinery rather than one or the other. The business calls its approach "positive impact logging," aiming for a "surgical and sustainable approach" that leaves the residual stand in better shape. That's a specific pitch, not every logger works this way. This fits a landowner in central Vermont who cares as much about how the woods look and function afterward as about the check at the end, and who likes the idea of horses working the land alongside the machinery.

Long View Forest is in Hartland, Vermont, offering a full set of services to landowners who want to look after their woods. The company works in timber harvesting, tree planting, trails, clearing, and invasive plant control, along with forest management plan preparation, forest inventory and mapping, project planning, and property boundary maintenance. They work with red oak and white pine among other species. For logging, Long View Forest uses a system called "cut-to-length," where trees are cut to log lengths of 8 to 20 feet right in the woods before going out to sawmills or other buyers. They run their own fleet of equipment, felling, limbing, and processing trees, then bringing logs out with forwarders. Where ground is harder to reach, they'll hand-cut and use a skidder instead. They also do timber stand improvement, precommercial thinning, and pruning work for landowners not yet ready for a full harvest. Long View Forest serves Windsor County and works across the greater Connecticut River Valley, including Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. Their foresters hold licenses in Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, and they also have NRCS Technical Service Provider status. Founded in 1999, the company has grown from a three-person logging crew into a staff of 40 working across multiple divisions, and is now employee-owned. They manage 35,000 acres of private forestland. This fits a landowner who wants one company that can handle planning, logging, and follow-up woodland work together, rather than hiring separate people for each piece.

Canonica Farm & Forest Services LLC is a logging outfit based in Chelsea, Vermont, serving Orange County. On their own pages they operate as Canonica Landworks, Inc., out of 310 Brook Road in Chelsea. Their main trade is logging, done through what they call "hybrid horse logging," alongside general excavation, stonework, river restoration, and trail work. They describe themselves as working "in and around environmentally sensitive sites with an eye towards protecting our natural resources." They say they've kept themselves a small outfit on purpose, to hold overhead down, and that on bigger jobs they bring in other small contractors with their own equipment to help finish on time and within budget. Their clients include state and federal agencies as well as private landowners. They cover the Upper Valley of New Hampshire and Central Vermont. No species are named, and there's no mention of standing timber sales or forestry consulting, so this looks like a hands-on logging and land-work crew rather than a broker or forester who walks your woods and sets up a sale for you. This fits a landowner in Orange County who wants actual tree work and ground work done, especially if the land has streams, trails, or sensitive terrain, and who likes the idea of horses on the job rather than only heavy machinery.

Stillwater Forestry LLC is a forest management company working across New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine. They are not a logging company themselves; they say "we are a fully licensed Vermont, Maine & New Hampshire Forest Management Services company," working for the landowner's interest rather than a logger's. They take on timber harvesting, boundary line maintenance, forest management plans, annual forest security inspections, wildlife habitat improvement, land acquisition, pasture clearing, and timber appraisals. They also buy standing timber outright. Species they mention working with include white pine, red oak, other hardwood, spruce, and pulpwood. Their harvest process: they meet with you to discuss goals and access, you sign a contract for services with no money up front, they mark and plan the harvest and handle permits, give you an estimate before cutting starts, then line up a logging company and run the harvest start to finish. They state 10 acres as their minimum, noting "whether it's 10 acres or 1000 acres or more, for parcels that fit our criteria, we provide competitive pricing and fast turnaround." They state 25+ years of experience and describe themselves as licensed in Vermont, Maine, and New Hampshire. This fits a landowner in Addison County or elsewhere in Vermont, New Hampshire, or Maine who wants one outfit to handle the whole sale, from appraisal through finding a logger to closing it out, rather than negotiating with a logger directly.

Mikey's Mill is a sawmill in Middlebury, Vermont, running since 1994. They saw rough sawn hemlock and pine, cut beams, and also log and buy timber, mostly in Addison County. Besides milling they're farmers too, selling feed and holstein cattle, keeping bees and running a sugar bush. Most of what they cut is hemlock, with white pine as well, and they'll saw oak, cedar, or basswood depending on what logs come in. They work from a good inventory of hemlock logs from 8 to 24 feet and can cut most dimensions, including beams up to 8x8x24 feet. Logging happens in the winter, done with a forwarder, a small skidder, and a dozer rather than dragging wood. They say they "seem to specialize in lots with houses on them" and also thin sugar bushes, noting "we sugar so we know what we're doing." They take on small commercial sales too, especially jobs heavy in firewood and pulp. No stated minimum acreage comes up, but their work with small commercial sales and sugar bush thinning suggests they'll look at modest, smaller lots rather than just big tracts. This fits a landowner in Addison County with a small woodlot, maybe one with a house on it or a sugar bush needing thinning, who wants someone local and willing to handle a smaller job.

Hollow Hill Forestry is a family-run timber marketing firm based in North Bennington, Vermont, with a log yard across the line in Jackson, NY. They can purchase your standing timber outright, but their own words put it plainly: "We can purchase standing timber from private landowners but most generally provide brokerage services for timber or logs." That means they combine your logs or timber with other owners' wood to market it for its best use. They handle the usual northeastern hardwoods: hard maple, birch, red oak, white ash, black cherry, soft maple, white oak, aspen, beech, hickory, and basswood, plus softwood like white pine, hemlock, red pine, and spruce. They say their log yard sits in an area "noted for having the best quality maple in the world," and maple is their biggest seller. For a harvest, they arrange insured contractors, mark and appraise the timber, lay out skid trails, and supervise the job. On a timber sale, they run a lump sum bid process, or buy your standing timber outright on a lump sum basis. Logs brought to their yard are bar-code tagged as scaled and graded, and paid for as removed, generally weekly. Beyond timber, they also do boundary marking, forest valuation, wood road and trail building, land clearing, meadow restoration, and wildlife management work like food plots and patch clear cuts. They note they have managed some very small properties, so a modest woodlot isn't out of reach. They serve Bennington County and describe their timber marketing as covering the Northeast. The company was founded in 2003 and is run by the Sargent family, with William Sargent as president. This fits a landowner who wants one outfit to handle both the timber sale and smaller land or wildlife projects on the same visit. From hollowhillforestry.com, read 8 October 2026.

Custom Logging & Excavation LLC is a logging and excavating business run by Louis J. Patoine, based in West Danville, Vermont. The business works in Caledonia County. Logging is the main trade here, with land-clearing and site work done alongside it. The business has been at this over 30 years. The owner points to "open and honest communication" and "working efficiently" as how the work gets done, and a past customer, Jim Brochhausen of Brookfield Service, writes that "Custom Logging and Excavating is the company you hire when you want it done right." This suits a landowner in Caledonia County who wants one outfit to handle both the logging and any excavating or clearing the job calls for, from someone who has been doing it a long time.

Knock-On-Wood SawWorks is based in Topsham, Vermont, and takes on cabin and outbuilding building, portable sawmilling, lumber sales, and small-scale logging. The business works in and around the Upper Valley, the Mad River Valley, and the Northeast Kingdom, and serves Orange County. The sawmilling side cuts hardwood and softwood, with a focus on Hemlock and Pine, and the mill travels to you since the operation is fully portable. Logging jobs are usually tied to a building project or a lot, using everything from hand tools to a small tractor with a winch depending on the job. Owner Nick Zandstra has spent "over the past 20+ years" building skills in turning local wood into local products, starting in carpentry before adding timber framing, milling, and logging. He also teaches classes in small-scale sustainable logging and milling. On the building side, the company designs and builds cabins, barns, pole barns, sheds, porches, and saunas, and leads or assists with timber frame raisings, using wood sourced on-site or from its own woodlot. The business describes itself as "especially adept at cutting usable lumber from marginal-quality logs," and says "accurate felling and minimal disturbance are our trademarks." This fits a landowner who wants the trees turned into an actual building or usable lumber, not just a timber check, and who likes working with one small outfit that handles cutting, milling, and construction together.

Timber Resource Group is a timber-buying and logging business with a log yard in Hardwick, Vermont. They buy spruce and fir, along with hardwood species including hard and red maple, white ash, yellow and white birch, red oak, cherry, hemlock, red pine, and white pine. At their yards they scale and grade logs, and they also offer log scaling and "roadside veneer scaling services" for logs checked out on site. Suppliers get paid straight from the sawmills, since, as they put it, "there is no middleman or broker involved." Their buyers and licensed wood scalers can also come out to a logging job in the woods to help sort logs for the best return before they're sold. They serve Caledonia County out of their Hardwick yard, part of a wider network of yards and sawmills across Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York. Staff carry credentials including Licensed Forester, Licensed Wood Scaler, Registered Maine Guide, and Class A CDL Operator, and the company has been running since 1990. This suits a landowner in Caledonia County with spruce, fir, or hardwood timber to sell who wants to deal with a buyer paying direct from the mill rather than through a broker.

Young's Custom Sawing is a sawmill in Westfield, Vermont, run by Will Young. He works "From log to lumber, at your homestead" in Northern Vermont, bringing the mill to your place rather than having you haul logs elsewhere. The work covers custom sawing, forestry consulting, and selective logging. Will can help you figure out if a tree is worth milling, which trees to fell for a project, or how to improve your woodlot while getting lumber out of it. For logging, he'll use your own equipment, like a tractor or winch, and can work alongside you or on his own. Spruce is named as a species he works with, though it's also noted that spruce "will add cost" to a job compared to other wood. He describes himself as having "many years experience finding, felling, choosing, and using trees for lumber and woodlot maintenance." Pricing is set out plainly: labor by the hour from departure at Westfield to departure from your site, sawmill use by the board foot using Vermont Log Scale, mileage for bringing the mill out, and separate charges for blade sharpening and replacement. He's upfront that the final cost per board foot depends on distance, how organized your logs are, site conditions, and wood type. This suits a landowner in Orleans County who wants the sawing, the advice, and the felling handled by one person who comes to the property, and who wants to see the cost breakdown before the truck ever shows up.

American Dirt and Wood LLC is a family owned logging and forestry business in North Springfield, Vermont. They trace their roots to 1989, when the business started under the name J&S Forest Management Services with a borrowed wood splitter, a pickup truck, and a chain saw. Today Steve Kraft, a licensed VT forester, runs the forestry side, and Ben Kraft handles equipment and operations. Their work starts with a forest management plan, including plans built for Vermont's current use program, and moves into logging from there. They describe themselves as "specializing in selective cutting" to take out the mature and crooked trees and make room for the good ones to grow. What doesn't go to a regular sawmill gets used too: they cut and split green and kiln dried firewood and saw rough lumber from logs a larger mill wouldn't take. They also do excavation and dirt work, from driveways to drainage to site work, which grew out of the equipment they already had for wood operations. They serve Windsor County and the greater Springfield, VT area. On a job, they say they "work closely with landowners to make sure their land is harvested to their satisfaction and the satisfaction of the current use program," and they offer a free estimate for lumber work. No acreage range is spelled out on their pages. This fits a Windsor County landowner who wants one outfit to handle the whole job, from the forestry paperwork through the cutting to hauling off firewood and lumber, rather than hiring separate people for each piece.
