Quality Hay for Indiana Horse Owners
5/17/2012 update: Sorry, this cutting is SOLD OUT.
Now we’re baling! We started bringing in a perfect cutting of our premium horse hay today. Nearly 200 bales made it into the barn tonight with another 300-400 expected tomorrow. This is really nice hay, tight bales, right at our target weight of 50 pounds, and containing approximately 25% alfalfa. Priced at $7 per bale.
Contact us to inquire about availability and to place a reservation. Our hay is pre-selling fast this year.
We baled a small lot of native grass hay today, consisting of fescue, orchard grass and clover with various flowers. Good bales in the 50 pound weight range, no rain, and plenty of drying time. This is not our premium horse hay, but great feed for the price.
50 bales are available at $5.00 each, or $225 for the entire lot. Contact us to arrange for your order.
This is a photo of our most recent planting. It is a 3.5 acre field planted densely with two alfalfa varieties, along with orchard grass, plus oats to protect the alfalfa while it matures. This is one of our fields along Sanes Creek, so the soil is nutrient rich, which has a direct impact on the nutrient density of hay.
We will be harvesting a mix of oats and alfalfa in July that needs to be pre-sold so we are not using our limited storage space for it. Expected yield is 300 bales (+/- 100), priced at $5.00 per bale.
If you could use alfalfa and oats hay for your horses, let us know right away. Any that isn’t pre-ordered will be contracted to a local dairy.
Contact us with any questions or to pre-order. Thanks!
Beautiful early stage alfalfa with timothy and orchard grass cut today! We should have this in the barn this weekend for the first taker. We are only cutting a small quantity, so reserve early. Pricing will be determined based on final bale quality this weekend.
One of our alfalfa, timothy and orchard grass fields in late March…an incredible start to the hay season.
Update: Sorry, these remaining bales have been sold.
We’ve been cleaning the barn this weekend, and all of our discounted bottom bales were picked up before we even posted them for sale. Now that everything is cleaned and sorted, with one final pre-paid order set aside on pallets, we have 60 remaining bales for sale. 51 of these bales are from the 2010 hay season, with 25% alfalfa, and they are very tight and heavy bales — a great value. The other 9 are second cutting hay from this season, but it’s not a big enough lot for premium pricing. All are $5 each.
We are hoping to get these picked up right away so we can finish cleaning, so contact us if you would like to order.
Thank you for a great 2011 hay season! We added a large number of repeat customers, and our family is grateful for your business.
We are now sold out of premium quality horse hay for the season. Once all of our pre-paid orders have been picked up and delivered, we will post the quantity of bottom bales available for sale at a substantial discount to market prices. Stay tuned.
We are also excited to announce that we have more than tripled our hay acreage for the coming 2012 season, and our farm is covered with tiny sprouts of timothy hay and other premium hay crops. Again, stay tuned for more information as we prepare for next year.

We baled and barn-stored 520 bales of our second cutting on July 15th. Half of these bales are pre-sold, so be sure to call your order in early. The hay was cut Wednesday morning and had 2 excellent drying days with high heat, low humidity, and no rain. The bales are standard small squares; weigh 50 pounds; approximately 75% alfalfa content with timothy and orchard grasses. Price is $6.00 per bale for pickup at our farm near Rushville; $7.00 per bale for small quantity pickup at our Fishers location. Our prices track the national average, and you can lock in the current price any time (and still receive any price decreases that may occur). Contact us, or call 317-572-7335, to place your order.
