Our process firstly includes conditioning into a uniform consistency,the hay remains full length and is not chopped before it is put through a rigorous two stage dust extraction system that removes not only dust but also seed and fragmented pieces that can be irritable and may cause problems if it gets into eyes.

 
Next the hay is baled into a purpose made hessian sack under pressure at a ratio of 8:1, When opened the contents will easily fill a black 80 litre household dustbin and for a guide only,weighs in at anywhere between 2kg-2.5kg depending on the material. We use hessian because it keeps the hay in top condition and is ideal for carriage.
We despatch in two's, or outers of five and ten bales and recently added a large bale too. We will mix hays and the straw to suit your order,if the combination cannot be done on the page please email
Due to demand we are now producing a large bale. This is the same quality as our smaller bales but not as convenient to handle As a guide one large bales is equivalent to 7-8 of our small bales
The large bales have been put through the same dust extraction process before the hay is baled up in a conventional two string bale,these are not as easy to handle but work out to be the cheapest buying option
For ease of use open the sack cut the two strings while still leaving the bale in the sack and take off a slice at a time

This is a sample of the English Timothy we have been selling,it is grown here in England but unfortunatley it has all gone now till next season.

See below for imported American grown Timothy we now have.

Many people have asked if we have the hessian sacks back to re-use but although it may seem wasteful we are concerned about any disease that could in theory be transmitted,so no we don't.(Please see the news page for one customers idea on how to use them)

But with this in mind we are currently trialing cardboard packaging that can be more easily recycled,

 
These box's contain the same amount as the sacks and may prove better to use as the hay will come out of the box more easily.

Here is what comes out of the dust extractor,this is not only dust but seeds and husk,you can see by the green tinge that this has come from good quality hay.

When we started doing this we were amazed ourselves at what actually came out of even the best quality hay.

Soft

This a sample of the soft hay we are currently using 

*There may be an odd dock stem in the current batch of soft hay,  
the hay itself smells  wonderful,
 We have  pick  out all we can see and  are always on the lookout.

Coarse or Stalky

This this the Coarse hay we are using at the moment, it contains quite a bit of Timothy too.

H1

This is hay we are calling H1, It has been grown by ourselves.
The hay is made from perennial rye grasses along with various fescue's cocksfoot and a bit of timothy.

This hay is not particularly green but the difference is it has a distinctive aroma, this is because after it was made we stored in an airtight wrap,this has contained all the natural smells of the grasses.

American Timothy

We now offer the famous Timothy Hay grown on the Western side of America, this is easily as good quality as any that is already availabe here.

As you can see from the photos it is exceptionally green and stalky.

As with our other hay it is compressed, this time into one of our cardboard boxs making it suitable for carriage and for a guide only our target weight is at least 2 kg.

As with all our products it has been put through our dust extraction process which has cleaned it up and removed the dust.

For the time being we are selling it in 2 and 5 box lots.
