About / Green Methods
Taos Door & Hardware Co. special orders Spanish cedar that is plantation grown in Africa. Most of the Spanish cedar
is available from the rain forest of South America. We use mostly wood that is grown in the U.S. The northeast has the fastest growing forest because the hillfarm land is no longer producing crops. The forest is creeping back into the fields to reclaim them. Our pine comes from plantations in Oregon and Washington where the climet is suitable for fast growing pine. our wood shop is run with electricity generated from wind power. This power is purchased advanced from our local KIt Carson Electric Coop, in blocks of 100KW hours.
