Maine's largestpellet mill.
Wood in. Heat out.
100% natural Maine timber. Zero additives, oils, or synthetic binders. Manufactured on 55 acres in Athens, Maine for residential stoves and institutional biomass heating at scale.
Engineered solely for
pure biomass fuel.
“We don't buy fiber on volatile spot markets. Our raw materials originate directly from sustainably managed Maine woodlands owned by our certified Master Logger partners. That ownership is why our heat is consistent and our pricing is guaranteed.”
Maine Woods Pellet Co. runs a purpose-built biomass facility on a 55-acre parcel in rural Athens. Every square foot was developed exclusively to optimize the intake, thermal conditioning, and high-pressure extrusion of clean wood pellet fuel.
By coupling timber from partner-owned woodlands with clean, debarked chips and sawdust from regional sawmills, we maintain a secure, year-round raw material supply—allowing us to guarantee multi-year supply contracts for commercial institutions, school districts, and dealer networks.
Sustainably harvested timber and clean sawmill chips delivered daily to our 55-acre Athens facility.

Automated Precision.
Every bag of Maine Woods pellets passes through automated vibratory screens immediately before robotic bagging to strip residual fines, ensuring clean, ash-minimized burning in your home or commercial boiler.
Every pellet from our Athens mill is extruded exclusively from pre-screened virgin Maine timber fiber. We never introduce recycled glues, foreign binders, or synthetic lubricants.
