Gator Wood

The Johnson family has been harvesting wood for their own use since 1944 when Clifford Johnson purchased the 212 acre farm near Litchfield,
Minnesota along with his wife and two children. Clifford's son, James, moved back to the farm and took over all farming operations in 1973 with
his wife and their five children. Eric is a third generation Johnson to harvest wood from this family farm. He and

his wife, Annmarie,are focused on providing a reliable service
to the community as well as saving valuable trees from entering the landfill or simply being burned in a pile. "I see a lot of good lumber go up
in smoke rather than be processed into boards when people have trees that need to be removed", says Eric. He also mentioned that he would be
interested in working with city officials in the area to offer his services so trees that are cut down or removed due to disease and after storm
damage can be made into a useful product. Eric & Annmarie of Gator Wood will be using a Wood-Mizer sawmill to bring these services to this area. Wood-Mizer sawmills use a narrow bandsaw
blade to saw logs into lumber, consume very little fuel, and produce up to 30% more lumber from each log compared to a traditional circle
sawmill. For more information contact Eric & Annmarie at Gator Wood. Phone: (320)348-9663 or by e-mail: [email protected]. Visit the website for information and photos: www.GATORWOOD.net
