Our Soft Hay (second cut) comes from long established meadows that have not been ploughed and re seeded for many years, this type of hay has that wonderful fragrance we associate with fresh cut hay.
Stalky Mix is coarser and more yellow looking grows more rigorously from leys only a few years old with Rye grass family most predominate along with a little Timothy. Standard is a new choice – texture is somewhere in the middle of Soft and Stalky,so if your not sure you won’t go far wrong with this one.
English Timothy has strong stems and large seed heads can be paler in colour compared to American Timothy (which is only sold in boxes) but very chewable!
Barley Straw is a good source of fibre.

Once delivered the packs can be broken down into their 2kg individual bales this can help with storage. The hays compressed into the recyclabe sack and you might be surprised how much we can cram into them, as a guide these packs have 5 x 2kg bales.
The pack of wrapped bales are put in a cardboard box ready for collection by ParcelForce.
There’s more information Here.
Each bale has the hay type stamped under the sealing tape
