About Us
Built on over 80 years of history, Gem State Lumber & Pellets—formerly Honco Lumber—has evolved into a modern, no-waste remanufacturing facility under the ownership of Jake Gorbet for the past 15+ years.
With over 60 years of lumber industry experience, we specialize in producing consistent, high-quality pallet stock. Nearly a decade ago, we committed to a no-waste model—ensuring every part of the board is put to work, with residuals converted into premium heating pellets.
As a family-owned and operated business, we focus on what matters: reliable supply, efficient production, and long-term relationships.
Nothing wasted. Nothing overlooked.
