Cherry Wood

Mother Nature is abundant in what she provides.

Not only does the orchard produce cherries, but we also obtain wood. If fact, if you’re too nice to the trees, all they want to do is make wood.  We generate quite a bit of cherry wood every year that we sell as Buddy Bones, Smoker Bits, Pizza Oven Wood or Fire Wood.   Seasoned for at least a year, you’ll enjoy using cherry wood for it’s high heat, low ash properties and the nice fragrance it has as it burns.
