Heacock Lumber is a family sawmill dating to 1918 that produces rough-cut hardwood lumber and custom-saws logs at its Bucks County mill. The Hunsberger family has operated the sawmill since purchasing it in 1974, continuing a local tradition that includes making survey stakes and turning milling byproducts into mulch and firewood. Its timber work follows Sustainable Forestry Initiative of Pennsylvania practices, with an emphasis on long-term woodlot management rather than clearcutting.
