Approved firewood is considered to be firewood offered for sale by vendors who have successfully completed an application process requiring that the wood originated within Minnesota and within 100 miles of where it will be used.

Where is our wood harvested?

Our wood is harvested in Minnesota on a farm in Belle Plaine. The wood can only travel to State parks within a 100 mile-radius from Belle Plain. Upon arrival, the State Park will ask for a vendor ticket. We provide you with a vendor ticket upon your purchase of the wood.

What areas are we approved for?

We are approved by the Minnesota Dept. of Natural Resources for the following State Park / Recreation areas:

• Afton
• Fort Ridgely
• Minneopa
• Flandrau
• Fort Snelling
• Minnesota Valley
• Sakatah Lake

What kind of wood is it?

We offer a mix of hardwoods including maple, oak and basswood.

How is the wood split?

The wood is split into roughly 4-5" wide x 18 — 20" long.

How is the wood packaged?

½ cord of wood will be delivered where you want it, wrapped and palletized. You will receive an approved firewood vendor ticket indicating your wood was purchased from a DNR-approved vendor. Present this ticket at ALL state-administered facilities.

What type of payment do you accept?

We accept Visa and Mastercard.

Additional Information

Treatment of Wood:

At present, Minnesota is not requiring treatment documentation. However, the Minnesota Dept of Agriculture is in the process of finalizing a certification program for wood treatment including proper kiln equipment, etc.

There are three approved treatment methods:

• 1. Removal of bark and the outer one-half inch of sapwood


• 2. Kiln drying of firewood to US Dept Agriculture specs


• 3. Heat treating firewood to US Dept Agriculture specs

Firewood that is harvested and remains in Minnesota does not need a Federal Shield. However, firewood that originates in a quarantined area is required to have a stamp, sticker, or permit with the federal shield on the package label or invoice. Areas infested with pests are placed under quarantine.
