It has been said that our society has consumed more natural resources in the past 100 years than in all of man’s previous existence combined. However, for 167 years and through five generations of family ownership, Harden Furniture has upheld a tradition of environmental stewardship. From harvesting trees on its company owned and managed 10,000 acre woodland in Upstate New York, to the maintenance of an on-site Forestry Division and adherence to environmentally sound principles and practices such as use of proven silviculture methods, Harden has been practicing a responsible environmental policy since before the Industrial Revolution and all of its impact on the environment.
As the family legacy endures, Harden Furniture continues to grow and change in order to best serve those customers who desire fine furniture from generation to generation…at just the right value. The story of Harden is much more than the history of a furniture company and a family… it reflects the history of our region and our country, and it has directly shaped the history of a community. From the very beginning, Frank’s concern for his employees and the village in which they lived was reflected in the construction of churches, a community house, and several homes for the employees. This tradition has continued over the years, with the building of a fire department, a golf course, and a new post office completed in 1995.
