FarmStart-Adam Allen, Kingdom Timber Logging & Forestry LLC


Adam Allen, owner operator of Kingdom Timber Logging & Forestry LLC
Adam Allen, age 22 is the owner and operator of Kingdom Timber Logging and Forestry LLC in Eden, VT and a new Yankee Farm Credit FarmStart investment. Adam earned a bachelor’s degree in forestry operation through Paul Smiths College in NY December 2015.  He is using his FarmStart investment to purchase a new skidder and assist with day to day operating expenses.  With this new equipment Kingdom Timber will be able to offer a wider array of forest products and services. 

Kingdom Timber operates mostly in northern Vermont, serving both private and industrial land owners seeking a forester to manage their land. They offer private forestry consulting, current use application and planning, timber theft cases, maple sugarbush management, set-up and management of timber harvests, boundary delineation, and professional timber harvesting.  They plan to produce saw timber and pulp which will be marketed to saw mills, pulp mills and bio-mass plants inside and outside of Vermont. 

Adam has already established himself in the logging community and industry in Northern Vermont with 8 years of logging experience. He has a mentor in place to help him make important management decisions and has a good reputation as a hard worker with a passion for logging.  We look forward to helping him achieve greater success.

The goal of FarmStart is to provide working capital to help start-up farmers establish a positive business and credit history during the early phases of their business careers. Within five years recipients should be positioned to graduate to a conventional line of credit from Yankee or another lender.
