When you're completely dependent on the wood stove as your heat source, your work starts a lot sooner to be prepared for winter. In some instances, we're even planning a full year or more in advance.

Though we do have an electric forced air system in our home, we haven't relied on this method of heating for 14+ years, only burning what we can harvest from our own property. This means our heating has been 100% FREE for more than a decade.

Follow along on our journey of how we source our wood from our own property, as well as how we manage this "crop" to keep it sustainable year after year.
