C-Logs is part of the Chaldean Estate, a 2,500 acre estate based in Much Hadham, Hertfordshire. As well as growing arable crops including wheat, barley oats and field beans, the Estate manages some 300 acres of woodland, much of which benefits from public access and some of which has been categorised as ‘ancient’. Two new areas of woodland comprising some 80 acres were planted in early Winter 2012 and have been designated ‘Diamond Woods’ as part of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebration. Additional areas of woodland have been recently planted with further areas planned.

The farm is managed within a partnership called Gilston Crop Management LLP which comprises the Chaldean Estate and two other local farms.

We are fully committed to operating in harmony with nature and are full participants in DEFRA’s ‘Countryside Stewardship Schemes’ aimed at protecting and enhancing wildlife whilst producing crops for food.

C-Logs was established as part of our diversification programme and our on-going attempts to contribute towards the sustainability agenda.

Our trees are harvested solely to be processed into firewood logs for fuel. This is unlike many of our competitors who offer mainly ‘arboreal arisings’ i.e a mixture of hard and soft wood logs produced from a variety of trees after tree surgery. As a result, our logs – all from hard wood species – are processed specifically with firewood logs in mind. We can therefore offer a product of uniform size and with relatively uniform burn rates. The result for our customers is a steadier burn from a less lively fire!
