The owner is present at every job, so you can be assured your property and trees receive the best care possible. In 2001 we started cutting firewood to sell. In September of 2004 Slabach Logging was founded. We did selective timber harvesting for the bigger timber companies in our area, and also a few private timber owners who were local. In 2008 when the economy went into recession we started advertising to the timber owners. We found we could make more money for private timber owners by selling their timber on " sealed bid log sales. In 2011 we acquired a small band sawmill to help utilize the low end logs that were tough to sell on the log sales and also do custom milling. In 2014 we started with the tree service side of it to accommodate our existing customers with tree service needs. It just keeps growing now it's close to 75% of our business. In 2016 we sold our facility and relocated to Shipshewana, IN. At this time we're out sourcing all our mill work. Hopefully by the end of 2024 we can have our mill up and going again. In 2017 we changed our name to Michiana Timber Management. I grew up Amish in Middlebury, IN, and always liked to cut and split firewood for our personal use when a boy. I have found if there is something you like to do, and you're willing to learn and willing to keep at it you can succeed.
