Harry Freeman and Son Limited
The Freeman family has operated mills in Greenfield since it was settled in 1830. Gorham Freeman built the first mill in 1832, which was powered by water and provided lumber for settler's homes.
Understanding and honouring their family's long history and commitment as one of the region's largest employers, with established customer relationships across the world, the Freeman family operates two of the most technically advanced saw mills on the eastern seaboard.
Freeman Lumber is one of the oldest family-run sawmill businesses in North America. Our first sawmill in Greenfield, Nova Scotia was established in 1832 when the village was settled.
Today, we produce approximately 70 million board feet of lumber and value added lumber products annually.
Freeman Lumber received ISO 9001:2000 certification in August 2002. This certification has been maintained since that time and has been recently renewed to the ISO 9001:2008 Standard. ISO 9001 is an international standard of quality. We are proud to be certified and we make it our vision:
"to supply consistent quality lumber and value added lumber products to global customers."
We fund silviculture on private lands. We pay for work we do on your land. You profit if we cut any valuable wood.
Under our Program you can improve the value of your lands. Our Program also allows you to transfer lands to your children without paying tax. We will even pay an accountant to help with estate planning.
We buy logs, stumpage and land!
