We are looking into trying to sell bundles of firewood. We own and run a crop farm, used to be dairy farm so we have access to plenty of trees. We are starting to sell produce in a self serve style, just getting into selling produce so not really all that big, we grow everything ourselves. We also grow and sell pumpkins in the fall time and been doing that for a long time, doing really good in that area. We have a building set up for this. We got plenty of trees that need to be cleaned up and figured try to sell some. We are not looking to get real big into this, don't plan on delivering, just selling from the farm.
For those that sell bundled firewood, how big in diameter do you make your pieces and how long? Is smaller the better or is too small a bad thing? How do you wrap the wood? We figured on tying with bale string starting out, but I would imagine that would be a PITA and get old real fast. Another thing is with string tying, that could make a mess in vehicles and would imagine people don't want to deal with that type of mess. Want to keep costs down since we just starting and no idea how well it will go. Any advice and pics of your setup would be great. TYIA
