   What's the name of the place?

   I'm always looking for good sources in NJ. I have to say that my last couple of trips to Willard Brothers in Trenton were disappointing. Prices are high, quality wasn't so good. Wanted $11 for 8/4 walnut and there wasn't a good piece in the rack.

   Disappointing. I've gotten a lot of good stuff there over the years.

   The barn is on the property of Sandy Creek Farm. It is about a 1/2 mile before the farmer's market. If I had an address I would give it to you. I'm not sure if this is permanent or if they are just renting space for a short period of time. I have not looked to see how the prices compare to the timber market report. The wood wasn't cheap but I thought they were good prices considering the quality of what you were getting.If you haven't been there another local place is Mr.Robert's Lumber in Barrington. I don't think they are anything special but they have a large selection of domestic and exotic hardwoods.

   Mind me asking exactly where? I live in Cumberland County but I frequently ride my Harley up into the pineys and 206 just for pleasure.

   Unfortunately I can not seem to find an exact address for this place but it is about a 1/2 mile from the Columbus Farmers Market. Its on 206. It is located on the property of Sandy Hills Tree farm. There is a large historic brick house that is hard to miss.The address for the farmers market is:
   2919 Route 206 South
   Columbus, NJ 08022I wish I had better directions for you. Sorry.

   OK, I'm familiar with the market. Is the farm marked as such?

   There is a sign out front that says sandy hills christmas tree farm. If you are going north of rt 206 it will be on the left side of the road and it is after the wawa on Jacksonville Jobstown road and before you hit the farmer's market.Here is a link of a map.http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&ll=40.043731,-74.722438&spn=0.010365,0.025835&t=h&z=16&msid=112098392925497331628.00047ab1bb5bf0ecc7a8c
