In this episode, Part 2 of our series on vertical integration, we interview Jason Brochu, who along with his brother and co-president Chris Brochu, have revived their family’s logging business after a 20-year hiatus under the umbrella of Pleasant River Lumber Company in central Maine. We’re also joined by Toby Pineo, the general manager of A&A Brochu logging.
For more background on vertical integration, and to hear my discussion with Lyme Adirondack Forest Company’s general manager Eric Ross about their decision to add an in-house logging and a road-building crew to their working forest conservation easement, check out our previous episode, Vertical Integration Part 1.
Read our article in the August issue of the Northern Logger entitled “Vertical Integration: A Tale of Two Operations,” for more on the LAFCO and A&A Brochu crews.
