SUSTAINABLE FORESTRY AND SAWMILL SERVICES
for Lancaster County, PA and beyond
We are a family-owned forest management service and sawmill in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. We’re dedicated to providing high-quality hardwood products through sustainable forestry practices.
Services We Offer
Timber Purchasing
Stoltzfus buys standing timber for processing at our Lancaster County sawmill. We can work with landowners who have at least 50 trees to harvest. Our professional foresters assess your forest, develop recommendations, and offer a fair market price.
Forest Management
We specialize in forest management practices that promote long-term health and vitality for your woodland. Responsible management allows younger trees to thrive, supports wildlife, and ensures your forest remains vibrant for generations to come.
Stoltzfus Hardwoods
Our mill processes the timber we purchase, and the kiln-dried lumber is sold through Stoltzfus Hardwoods, our sister company. We supply fine Appalachian hardwoods to the lumber, cabinetry, furniture, and flooring industries.
Our Story
Our Story
Stoltzfus Forest Products was founded in 1990 in Peach Bottom, Pennsylvania, by Samuel Stoltzfus, a dairy farmer who turned his interest in sawmills into a side business. As demand grew, he shifted his focus.
After 35 years, that small operation is now a regional forestry company. In 2024, our lumber division, Stoltzfus Hardwoods, was established as a sister company. Both companies are still owned and operated by the Stoltzfus family, and the current generation continues the tradition of sustainable forestry across southeastern Pennsylvania and adjacent states.
Stoltzfus Forest Products provides services like timber harvesting and forest management. We also produce 7 species of kiln-dried hardwood lumber, mulch, firewood logs, and sawdust products. In 2021, we installed new kilns to improve the quality and supply of our lumber, and we continue to expand our mill’s equipment and capabilities.
We sell our kiln-dried lumber through Stoltzfus Hardwoods. Please visit their website to learn more.
