Hay is a product of nature and is grown in large, outdoor fields. Hayfields serve as home to a diverse array of micro inhabitants (highlighted in the following video: The Anatomy of a Hay Field). During the hay baling process in the field, objects are sometimes caught within the flakes of the hay bale. All our bagged hay is carefully sorted by trained personnel to remove any foreign objects or weeds prior to the hay being packaged to provide the most consistent, high-quality product possible for you and your pet.
Of note, our bulk offerings, while sourced from the same premium hay as our bagged hay, are not hand-sorted to remove foreign objects and are therefore offered at a lower price point per pound.
