About us
How we got our start: Forgione Lumber Company was originally started in 1930 by Antonio Forgione.When Antonio Forgione opened his first lumberyard, it was located on 11th street and LaSalle Avenue in Niagara Falls. As the lumber business grew, the lumberyard was moved to a much larger location on Witmer Road in the Town of Niagara. Primarily he and his logging crew logged Southern Ontario,Canada. The logs were harvested and cut into millions of board feet of prime hardwoods. The boards were then trucked to their milling plant in Niagara Falls, New York. The Forgione Lumber company milled these boards into doors,cabinets, windows, trim boards, and many other decorative and functional parts of a home. Eventually, the need to custom millwork declined and Antonio Forgione moved to building wooden shipping pallets. In the late 1970’s Antonio retired and the facility was taken over by a wood processing company. By 1993, the Forgione Lumber company ceased to exist. In 2023, I began a small company that only processed and sold small quantities of firewood. In honor of my great uncle Antonio Forgione, I decided to name my company “Forgione Lumber Company”.

Firewood Operation
The first step in the production process is acquiring logs. We have several logging companies that deliver to our woodyard. After the logs are unloaded, we separate the logs by species. Typically we receive ash,birch, cherry, maple,and oak logs. The very next step is to cut our logs into 16 inch lengths. The process continues with the wood splitter where we split our wood into smaller and manageable pieces. Once all the pieces have been split and placed in a nice, neat pile, we begin filling the IBC totes.The firewood is stacked neatly inside the IBC totes to allow for drying. To protect the wood from any precipitation, the baskets are covered with sheets of plywood and tarps.During the entire process, the work area is a paved surface which eliminates any dirt or debris. This means you will receive clean firewood from our facility. When we receive a firewood order, we pull the basket and load the pickup truck bed with your firewood.The last step is delivering to your home. For those who choose to visit our location, we will assist you in loading your vehicle.
In order for us to provide quality firewood to our customers, we seek any tree services or loggers to provide us with a steady supply of logs.
