What Is Pine River Bedding?

Picture
Pine River Bedding is the trademarked brand name for all animal bedding sold by TallPines Forest Products, Inc.
Our animal bedding division, known as Pine River or Pine River Bedding, focuses on 100% pine wood shavings, pine wood sawdust, pine wood bedding pellets, and pine wood heating fuel pellets.


The purpose of our shavings division, and the reason we started the Pine River Bedding name, is to wholesale paper and poly bales of shavings to various retail locations across the United States of America.
We work with both retail stores and large farming operations.

Originally, TallPines Forest Products was founded in January of 1997, and was headquartered in Columbia, MD.
Since 1997 the company has continued to grow and evolve over the years, making a new home in Abingdon, VA from 2011-2015.
As the company continued to grow and expand, we added new products and staff.
We are now currently headquartered in Martinsburg, WV.

We pride ourselves on having always been a 100% family owned and family run business.
We have never considered selling our brand name, licensing it to another company, or even being affiliated with anyone else in the shavings business. We have chosen to partner with only the best lumber mills across the United States in order to bring you our high quality shavings, sawdust, and pellets.


Additionally, our team of employees has more than 80 years experience with business to business sales (B2B), transportation & logistics (FTL & LTL freight), and customer relationship management (CRM). We pride ourselves on answering the phone and responding to your email in a timely manner. We value your business and hope that we make you feel like part of our family.

Our Story: Four Generations of Experience

Picture
Our story began with an immigrant family, horse-drawn carriages, and lots of sawdust.
Boy it sure doesn't get any more glamorous than that, now does it?

Four generations ago (think early 1900's here) a young man was riding on the family's horse-drawn carriage with his father.
Almost every day was the same.
They went to the local sawmill, collected sawdust into burlap sacks, and then loaded them onto the carriage for delivery to customers.
After a full morning's work at the mill packing the sawdust, they then spent the rest of the day stopping at butcher shops and farms to sell their wares.
At the time, they were selling a bag of sawdust for just 5 cents.

Yes, just one shiny nickel!

Tragically, during one of these daily runs, that young man witnessed his father die while delivering product to his customers.
His father had a massive heart attack and died on the spot.
He was just 13 years of age.

That young man became our founder's father.
At the tender age of 13, he went on to provide for his mother and 8 other children.
His secret? Work the family business just like his father did before him.

He worked really hard, and chose to stick to the magical formula that his father had taught him along the way.
What was that magical formula?
Do what you say you are going to do when you say you are going to do it.
The young man eventually grew into a more mature man, married, and had 4 children of his own.

Pine River Bedding has now grown from one horse drawn carriage to the 4th generation of wood and shavings specialists.
We have grown our business over the years by using the same formula as that 13 year old boy did.
We simply do what we say we are going to do when we say we are going to do it.
That formula has worked for four generations and counting...
