Cherry Acres turns reclaimed barn wood and live-edge slabs into custom furniture at its downtown Lititz showroom. The business grew from Lancaster County builder Craig Wolf’s habit of salvaging lumber from old buildings and hand-crafting pieces for local shows, and it now works with Pennsylvania Amish craftsmen on distinctive furniture such as Dutch-inspired shutter cabinets. Its reclaimed wood may have spent 100 to 200 years in old buildings before being selected and finished for a new life.
