Founded in 1983 by Tim and Rhonda Kendrick, Kendrick Forest Products serves the Edgewood community as a family-owned sawmill and logging company. From harvesting and milling to kiln drying and exporting products worldwide, the business delivers over 17 million board feet per year – becoming the largest sawmill in Iowa.
