Summary
In October 2018, Andy Stebbins marketed E‑ZBricks—compressed kiln-dried wood fuel—as a winter alternative to cordwood. He advertised pallet pricing and delivery, while follow-up posts said individual bundles were available at the hardware store and had been restocked. In November, Jeff Medlin advertised cordwood at a new country stand on West Side Road and described possible future produce, cottage-food, and craft offerings.
