The Athens Middle School FFA chapter toured the Barefoot Pellet Company Mill today!

The 23 students learned about the innovative process of transforming a natural byproduct—sawdust—into valuable fuel. They saw firsthand how we use leftover sawdust from our lumber and flooring operations to create high-quality hardwood heating pellets and BBQ pellets.

This visit truly drove home the message that we do not waste any part of the tree: logs become lumber, bark becomes mulch, and all the sawdust gets converted into blocks and pellets! Thank you to the FFA students for their respectful visit and engaging questions.

Wishing you all a very Happy Thanksgiving!
We will be closed November 27th & 28th.
Stay safe and good luck to all the deer hunters!!!

Roy’s approach—combining time-honored values with innovative thinking—helped these companies flourish and set a high bar for excellence. His legacy is one of unwavering commitment, integrity, and inspiration.
