The Edrich Story

In the 1930s, Edward F. Stanfield Sr. had a 40-cow dairy farm known as Fieldstone Farm in Randallstown, Maryland. Around 1950, the name was changed to E.F. Stanfield and Sons when a partnership was formed with Edward F. Stanfield, Jr., and Richard R. Stanfield. The farm was later moved to its present location and, in 1959, incorporated with the name Edrich Farms, Inc. The new name combined the names of both sons, EDward and RICHard. Also, during this time, a local lumber mill moved to a part of the farm on Old Court Rd. This was eventually purchased by Edrich Farms and became Edrich Lumber, Inc. in April 1962. Richard began the management of the lumber mill, and Edward continued the management of the farm. Over the next few years, the Stanfields could buy adjacent farmlands that increased the Edrich properties to approximately 750 acres.

Family-owned and now 3rd generation-operated, Edrich Lumber is the largest lumber mill and producer of mulches in Baltimore County, Maryland. Under the watchful eye of the current leadership, we have built two new mills and installed countless pieces of state-of-the-art recycling equipment. Our scragg mill utilizes low-grade logs to create lumber for the pallet industry, repurposing innumerable tons of wood that would typically be mulched or burned for fuel. Our new stake mill can make thousands of environmental stakes daily. These stakes are used in eco-friendly filter barriers to help keep our waters clean. Tree stakes are also produced to help young trees take root and flourish in our landscapes. Many new products are being developed and will be available soon at Edrich Lumber. These product operations will take place in our renovated original mill. One such item is Thermarich wood. The Thermarich process will produce decay-resistant wood for decades without using any chemicals. Decking, sidings, piers, picnic tables, and benches can all be safely used because we use no chemicals in the preservation process. At Edrich Lumber, no wood scraps go to waste. As a Maryland-licensed recycler of natural clean wood waste, we keep 100 million pounds of wood out of our landfills yearly— recycling, repurposing and reimagining our business. Edrich Lumber has been creating environmentally safe products for you and your family for over 60 years.
