A quarter cord of seasoned hardwood, 32 cubic feet, split and ready to burn. A tidy starter load for occasional fires and fireplace evenings through the season.
Wonderful experience! They put the mulch exactly where we wanted. This mulch spread very easily and didn’t have the usual “mulch smell.” We will definitely use again!

How Much Firewood Do I Need?
Most Farmington homes using wood heat as a supplement do well with one half cord for the season, while primary wood heat users should plan on two to three full cords to comfortably cover mid October through early April.
What is a 1/4 Cord?
A full cord is a stacked pile of split firewood measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, about 128 cubic feet. Every size we sell is measured against that same standard. A full cord is 128 cubic feet, a half cord is 64, a third of a cord is 43, and a quarter cord is 32. When you compare prices, ask how many cubic feet you are getting. A stack sold as 4 feet high by 8 feet long looks the same from the front whether it is 4 feet deep or 16 inches deep, but the shallow one holds about a third as much wood.
What is a 1/3 Cord?
A full cord is a stacked pile of split firewood measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, about 128 cubic feet. Every size we sell is measured against that same standard. A full cord is 128 cubic feet, a half cord is 64, a third of a cord is 43, and a quarter cord is 32. When you compare prices, ask how many cubic feet you are getting. A stack sold as 4 feet high by 8 feet long looks the same from the front whether it is 4 feet deep or 16 inches deep, but the shallow one holds about a third as much wood.
What is a 1/2 Cord?
A full cord is a stacked pile of split firewood measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, about 128 cubic feet. Every size we sell is measured against that same standard. A full cord is 128 cubic feet, a half cord is 64, a third of a cord is 43, and a quarter cord is 32. When you compare prices, ask how many cubic feet you are getting. A stack sold as 4 feet high by 8 feet long looks the same from the front whether it is 4 feet deep or 16 inches deep, but the shallow one holds about a third as much wood.

Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!
If you are already prepping your property for winter, pair your firewood delivery with a load of mulch or landscape stone from our Farmington regional page to protect garden beds through the frost season ahead.
Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so it does not sit in Ozark border moisture, and keep the top covered while leaving the sides open for airflow. Farmington's humid summers followed by wet fall weather can slow drying or invite rot if wood sits directly on soil, so a simple raised stack with a tarp roof keeps your supply ready to burn once the first frost arrives in mid October.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Oak and hickory from around Farmington burn hot and long but take longer to catch, so start fires with smaller hard maple splits or kindling before adding denser oak rounds once the fire is established. A quick moisture check with an inexpensive meter should read below 20 percent before you count on a log for efficient, low smoke heat.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order your cord size before the first frost historically arrives around October 15, since demand rises fast once Farmington temperatures drop and popular local species like hickory can sell out early in the season. Ordering in late summer also gives freshly split wood extra weeks to finish seasoning before you need it.
Wood Heat in Farmington
Farmington sits in growing zone 6b at just under 950 feet elevation, with a heating season that typically runs from mid October frost through early April, meaning many households are feeding a stove or insert for close to six months. That long stretch makes seasoned wood essential, since green or partially dried wood burns cooler, smokes more, and builds creosote faster in chimneys during our humid Ozark border winters. Local oak, hickory, and hard maple are common in this part of St. Francois County, and each needs six months to a year of proper drying to reach a safe burn moisture level. Wood cut and split near Farmington also seasons at a pace matched to our regional humidity, so it is ready when the first cold snap hits rather than still sweating inside the rounds. Buying wood that has already been dried for our climate means fewer smoky fires and less time spent relighting a stubborn flame on a January night.
Local Hardwood Species
Expect dense regional hardwoods like oak, hickory, maple, and ash. These species burn longer and hotter than softwoods, which is what you want when a cold snap settles in and the stove runs all day.
Seasoning and Moisture
Firewood needs 6 to 12 months of drying before it burns well. Properly seasoned wood lights faster, throws more heat, and keeps creosote out of your chimney, which matters most in the coldest weeks of the year.
Buy Local, Burn Local
Firewood that travels long distances spreads invasive pests like the emerald ash borer. Our wood is cut and seasoned close to where it is delivered, which protects local trees and means fresher wood for you.
Frequently Asked Questions

Answer
How much firewood does a typical Farmington winter actually require
For a household burning several nights a week from mid October through early April, most Farmington customers use somewhere between one half cord and a full cord as a supplemental heat source, while those relying on wood heat as a primary source often go through two to three full cords across the season.
Answer
What does seasoned firewood mean and why does it matter here
Seasoned means the wood has dried for six months to a year after splitting, dropping its moisture content low enough to burn cleanly, which matters in our humid climate because green wood holds moisture longer here than in drier regions and can smolder instead of burning hot.
Answer
What kinds of wood will I actually get
Expect a mix of oak, hickory, and hard maple, all common hardwoods harvested from the wooded hills and farmland around Farmington, chosen for dense grain that burns long and hot once properly dried.
Answer
Is the wood really sourced locally, and does that matter
Yes, all of our firewood is cut near Farmington rather than trucked in from distant regions, which matters because moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas.
Answer
How does delivery to my house actually work
You choose a cord size, we schedule a drop off date, and the wood is delivered loose to your driveway, since stacking is not included and is left to the homeowner.
Answer
What is the difference between a quarter cord, a half cord, and a full cord
A full cord is 128 cubic feet, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long when stacked, and our quarter, third, and half cord options are simply fractional portions of that same stacked volume, scaled down for smaller stoves or occasional burning.
Answer
Are there any local rules about burning wood I should know about
Farmington does not currently enforce a formal burn ban registry like larger metro areas, but on days with poor air quality or high winds it is worth checking local advisories before an outdoor burn, and indoor stove use should always follow manufacturer clearance guidelines for chimney safety.
