Our Roots and Legacy

Yoder Lumber is a third-generation family-owned business, deeply rooted in the heart of Ohio's Amish country. For over 80 years, our dedication to quality craftsmanship and sustainability has earned us the trust of customers across the United States and around the globe. We are not just a manufacturer; we are stewards of the forest, committed to responsible forestry practices that ensure the health and longevity of our woodlands for generations to come.

From Standing Timber to Premier Products

Our journey began in 1944 with our founder, John J. Yoder, and a humble portable sawmill. The company's mission has always been clear: to provide the highest quality hardwood products while preserving the natural resources that sustain us. We strive to understand the unique needs of each customer, offering custom solutions designed to exceed expectations.

Our modern facilities, strategically located in Ohio and West Virginia, are testament to our commitment to innovation and efficiency. We employ state-of-the-art equipment, including sophisticated dimension lumber production facilities, automated grading and sorting lines, and extensive drying operations. Our lumber is sourced from responsibly managed forests, carefully selected and harvested by our team of professional foresters.
