A young entrepreneur sells quality firewood at an affordable price.
Three years ago, Connor Guenther followed in his parents’ footsteps and began his own start-up, combining his love of business with his passion for firewood. Just 10 years old at the time, Guenther began selling a line of firewood called Sparky’s Organic Firewood, using only the highest quality wood available.
While most firewood is made from pine trees, Guenther’s comes mostly from oak trees because “trees that take longer to grow tend to burn longer,” he says. For $7, you can take home 15 pieces of wood to warm you up this winter season. Available at Gear West; 1786 W. Wayzata Blvd., Long Lake; 952.473.0093 –Katie Rucke
