A good local company we used for our locust fence posts is Top Notch Tree Service. They also do tree work - he's an arborist - and they harvest the locust from their own locust grove. He has very decent prices, $4 per split eight foot post and $20 delivery.

About Suus
- suus
- Ithaca, NY (region 5)
- Welcome to my blog! I was born in the Netherlands and moved to the States in 1998 after a last minute wedding to my longtime companion Rolf. By way of Gainesville, FL and Pittsburgh, PA we ended up in the gorgeous Finger Lakes Region of Upstate New York. Now we have our 5 acres of paradise we're turning more self sufficient each season; by growing our own greens and meats, by reusing and freecycling (yay craigslist!) and by learning from the locals. My blog is all about my adventures, observations and learning curves in small scale Homesteading. Toss in an active animal loving toddler and daily life is never boring!
