For six generations, the Farnsworth family has run this mill on the same land in Shirley, Massachusetts. What started as a small sawmill on the Nashua River in 1837 has grown into a full-service lumber operation — but the values haven't changed.
We still believe in knowing where your wood comes from, cutting it right, and treating every customer like a neighbor. Whether you're a contractor building 20 homes or a homeowner tackling your first deck, you'll get the same attention to detail.






Six generations. One mill. That's not a marketing tagline — it's just how it's been. When you've been doing something this long, the work becomes second nature. The Farnsworth family has been milling lumber on this land since before the Civil War, and every generation has added something.
Today, the operation is run by the same family who built it — bringing modern equipment and old-school values together under one roof.
