What Makes Our Hay A Cut Above
01. Healthy Soil
The quality of our hay starts with the soil it’s grown in. We maintain healthy, nutrient-rich soil through sustainable farming practices, ensuring that our hay is packed with the vitamins and minerals your livestock needs. By focusing on soil health, we produce hay that’s not only nutritious but also supports the long-term fertility of our fields, ensuring ongoing quality for years to come
02. Harvested At The Perfect Time
We harvest our hay at its peak maturity, capturing the optimal balance of nutrients, fiber, and energy. Cutting at the right time ensures higher levels of digestible protein and energy. This attention to timing also helps to minimize lignin content, making our hay more palatable and easier to digest
03. Soft Hay - Never Stiff
Our hay is carefully monitored during the drying process to achieve the ideal moisture content, ensuring the hay remains soft and pliable. Reducing the formation of brittle, sharp stems that can cause discomfort or digestive issues for your livestock. Soft, supple hay is not only easier for animals to chew and digest but also helps improve feed intake and overall nutrient absorption, leading to healthier, more productive livestock
04. Consistency
From the field to the bale, we’ve refined our processes to ensure that each batch of hay meets our standards. We use precise, uniform harvesting techniques along with a controlled curing and drying process, producing bales with uniform density. Before any bale leaves our farm, it undergoes a series of quality checks, we check for proper moisture levels, uniform texture, and absence of contaminants, so you can trust that every bale is as good as the last
05. Passion
Our passion is what makes our hay shine. From the first seed sown to the final bale stacked, we approach each step with care, pride, and gratitude for the opportunity to steward this earth
It’s not just about growing hay, it’s about honoring the trust you place in us to feed your animals and support your livelihood
That’s the kind of passion that makes our hay more than feed — it’s a promise
