About Sustainable Farms


We have managed the farm and woodland since 2003. One of my passions has been restoring the Victorian slate quarry, which took 10 years. In 2024 we found and restored an artesian well that is around 1000 years old. The woods are run following a Devon Wildlife Management Plan and with the support of the Woodland Trust Community Woodlands initiative. We have brought the land back into sustainable management for hay, haylage, cattle, sheep, pigs and wildlife. We have a range of fruit from our orchard, and used to make jams and chutneys.

Dry seasoned hardwood, pre-split and ready to burn:
Oak, Ash, Cherry, Spindle, Hawthorn and Beech.
Guaranteed to British Standard 5756 kiln dry quality and Ready to Burn standards of 20% moisture content.
Average 14-18% moisture content, with a guarantee they are less than 20% moisture.

Excellent service and lovely dry logs, which always burn well in our log burner. Will definitely use this company again.

Having just moved into the area in November I wanted a good supplier for my logs for my heating burner. Richard supplied me quickly and was very helpful. The logs are burning well and I am very satisfied with his service. I shall be ordering from him again.
Barry Wheeler

Ordered logs in Nov. And Dec. Last year (2019) very pleased. Good quality, regular sized and dry, prompt delivery and shall be continuing to order through 2020.

Really good quality hard dry logs and friendly service. I will definitely be getting more next winter.
Chris Monty

We ordered medium sized logs for this winter which were delivered on schedule. What I really like about Richards logs is that they are kiln dried so you know they will be delivered dry. We will be ordering again next winter as usual.

I’ve ordered and received a load of logs from Richard throughout the winter for my elderly parents and they renowned for their fussy ness and have said there the best logs they’ve ever used, and will continue to use these logs throughout next winter too.

Hi, just a note to say many thanks for the logs we ordered from you in November. Great service and we are really impressed with how well they burn. They have obviously been dried out well for a long time unlike some other logs we have ordered from other places in the past. Will definitely be ordering again next winter and recommending you to others. Thanks again and Happy New Year! ? .

I am new to the area so ordered some logs for my burner. The logs were dry and burnt well and lasted ages. Will defo buy some more next November !

We were pleased with the first year's delivery - good quality and well seasoned logs. The second delivery was disappointing - quite a few logs were no more than little branches. The third delivery was extremely disappointing - most of the logs were completely rotten. Now they are not replying to our emails.

Great place for dry hardwood logs.
Paul Connor

All the logs are dried and stored inside. Perfect size and fully seasoned. What more could I ask for?
Andrew Metcalf

Excellent service, very responsive and friendly. I ordered some firewood and he went the extra mile to make sure I had it on time and at the right place, all at the last minute.
Jane Delafield
Newton Abbot
Received a delivery of seasoned hardwood logs yesterday. Really pleased with the quality of the logs, moisture tested at 17. 5%, and already burning away merrily and throwing out a really good heat. Many thanks to Richard for his excellent service and very speedy delivery. Will certainly be recommending to friends and family.
Response : Dear Jane, thanks for the review; it's interesting that you did an independent moisture test. Our tests put the wood between 16-20%, so your reading is very consistent. We aim to be the cheapest supplier of kiln dry quality wood (.

If you want having the feeling of deep love to the warmness of Richard's wood to your body and soul, then have a trial. You will hope it will be cold for ever because you love that feeling.

Provided hand selected logs for Christmas decorations. Supplied a great range of sizes and styles; the variety gave me so many creative options. All wood arrived dry so after a quick dust off they could be used straight away. I would not hesitate to recommend using this supplier; a professional service and high quality items supplied.

Really happy with the service. It was quick and efficient. Found my property (which is in the middle of nowhere! ) with no problems. Good quality wood and owner knows his stuff, great for advice and info. Would buy from again!

We have use Stert Quarry Farm on several occasions and always had prompt, helpful service, with knowledgeable and useful advice.
Response : Thank you for your continued support.
Merlin Matthews

I've bought firewood, pork and lamb from Stert over the years and I've always been very happy. I've visited the farm and can attest that its well run and Richard is super eco. Highly recommended.
Jennifer Wellwood
Totnes
Had wood delivered last week- thanks very much Richard and the Stert Quarry team- very good quality promising excellent blazes all winter. Took the opportunity to order some mutton for a celebration curry : what a cut, what a dish, what a treat! Proper mutton is rare enough, and this was both organic and most DELICIOUS. Telling my friends about you - thanks :-).
