At Bobwhite Farm I annually cut, & split 10 - 20 cords of Firewood (delivered locally).
This past winter, I got calls from all over New England, & east of the Hudson R, in NY State, for firewood. I was referring many of these callers to other firewood suppliers, when ever I could help them out. Now I started posting names of sources in New England to make it easier for folks outside of my immediate area to find wood.

It is available seasoned (drying about a year) or green (slightly cheaper - rewards you for planning ahead!)
It can be cut to length (18"-24" is standard)
If interested, you can help me load your wood.
Note: My wood includes round pieces from 1 - 5in in diameter, making up no more than 40% of your load.
This is done to guarantee the least possible wastage.
It requires more work to include small stuff (great for getting fire started) but is environmentally preferable.

Firewood is generally sold by the Cord
Firewood (according to the OED, Fire derived thru Germanic languages fr Sanskrit):
Earliest written reference fr 15th C England
Cord (according to the OED derived fr Greek): a measure of cut wood, esp. that used for fuel
"Probably originally measured w/ a cord of some kind".
"A pile of wood, most frequently 8' long, 4' broad, & 4' high,
but varying in different localities".
Earliest written references to this usage are fr 17th C England
In modern terms, 8x4x4 = 128cu.ft. (which happens to be the same as the # of oz. in a gallon!)
(& this, of course, is not SOLID wood, but stacked round wood: air/wood total) ~3m³
