This is Custom Wood Fibers - Aaron Newton

On this episode I chatted with Aaron Newton owner of Custom Wood Fibers. Custom Wood Fibers and Cedar Mulch LLC is the family-owned business of Aaron and Jennifer Newton. Aaron holds a B.S. in Forestry from Purdue University and Jennifer holds a B. S. in Biology from Indiana University. They have been in the cedar business since 1998 starting in Alabama where they built and operated a high production cedar sawmill for Aaron's family. After 6 years in Alabama the couple moved to Stillwater, OK and started Eastern Red Cedar Mulch LLC, the first of its kind in Oklahoma to grind whole cedar trees into mulch. Aaron and Jennifer developed a healthy market for cedar mulch and eventually acquired Custom Wood Fibers and Cedar Mulch LLC to further grow and diversify the business to include animal bedding and oilfield products. Custom Wood Fibers and Cedar Mulch LLC moved to their current location in Oklahoma City in 2018. In November 2019, Custom Wood Fibers was joined by Greg Ruark to further promote growth through outside sales. Greg's experience includes oilfield chemicals and Loss Circulation Material sales since 2007. He bought his first pair of cowboy boots in 2020.
