Gallion Ridge Farms Welcomes You

Your lumber closer to home

Photograph by Wendy Hodge


Hey y’all!  I’m Michael Schmolitz; I own and manage Gallion Ridge Farms here in Blacksburg Virginia.  In the mid 1950’s my grandparents, Brownie and Maude Saunders, began farming this land to provide their family with food and a way of life.  I’m blessed to be able to continue their legacy.

Raising cattle and pigs and working at my sawmill are what I do for fun.  It’s a bonus that my hobbies have grown into a small business! I’m thankful for the support of my customers, friends and family.


From my family to yours,

Michael Schmolitz
