About Us

Run of the Mill is a family-owned business located in Mankato MN. The owner's name is John Kaliski. Our mission is to provide high quality, onsite sawmilling services and products to the small and medium-sized landowner in the Southern Minnesota and Northern Wisconsin areas.

We are wood workers with a passion for trees and a love for being outdoors. Our interest in sawmills started from adversity. In 2001 a bad storm blew down many large hard Maple and Ash trees on our property. Not wanting to waste the trees and being tired of paying sky high hardwood prices, we checked into our options. Tree services were too expensive; the job was too small for loggers and we did not want their heavy equipment to further damage our land. Thus Run of the Mill was born.

In the years we have been doing this we have made lots of good friends. Check out Our Friends' WWW sites. They produce great things.
