Minnesota wood suppliers

Buying lumber in Minnesota

Minnesota spans northern conifer and mixed-forest production, aspen and northern hardwood resources, and large southern distribution markets serving construction and specialty woodworking buyers.

Minnesota DNR reports 17.7 million acres of forest land and 53 native tree species. Important commercial resources include aspen, balsam fir, spruce, jack, white, and red pine, and northern hardwoods.

Before you go

• Check the business type before making the drive. A northern sawmill may sell different material than a lumber dealer in the Twin Cities area.
• Verify current species, grade, dimensions, drying status, surfacing, quantity requirements, and freight or pickup options directly.

Regional context does not establish inventory at an individual supplier. Sources: Minnesota DNR forest facts, Minnesota DNR trees and forests.
