Happy Easter everyone! 🐰

Shorter and cooler days are approaching and it’s a good time to be securing your hay before winter arrives.

We specialise in delivering truck loads direct to your door, and finding the right hay for you a your horses/ stock. We produce our own hay in Central Vic but also source different options (particularly grass varieties) from across the state that we cannot grow viably on our farm.
We focus on having a wide range of varieties, prices, feed test values etc. We also understand how difficult it can be to find hay with low sugar, and we work hard finding the right hay and low NSC values to ensure we have some options for our customers with laminitic prone, cushings, and EMS ponies.

Our truck loads delivered to your door is perfect for those wanted to get their supply in sorted in one hit and ensure you have the right hay for you for the year.
We do have a small amount options in Goornong that people are welcome to pick up smaller quantities via appointment.

We are horse people too, and understand the importance of getting the right hay for your four legged friends.

(Photos uploaded for attention- taken this week having a “pony paddock party” while making some decisions for the farm.)

Any questions please reach out, and I will be uploading some current price-lists soon.

Cheers
Ash

💚💛💚 Happy Australia Day! 💚💛💚

Today Will and Lottie headed off in the truck and delivered a load of donated hay to the Need For Feed depot in Alexandra.

This hay will help support local farmers and animals as they begin the long road to recovery after an incredibly tough time.

We’re so grateful to everyone who donated to our Buy A Bale fundraiser which helped us get this load done today. It's acts of kindness like this remind us how strong and generous our community is when it matters most.

We hope everyone had a great Australia day.

On Thursday, Will and our farm hand Aussie delivered our donated load of hay to Harcourt, to support farmers and families affected by the recent bushfires. Seeing the impact firsthand is heartbreaking, but it’s also a powerful reminder of how important it is to look after one another in times like these.

🔥🤍

I also wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has contributed to the community hay load and have been able to "buy a bale". We have about 20 bales donated on this load, and still space for a few more if anyone wanted to jump on board.

Hi all,
Ash and Will here.

Our hearts are with everyone affected by the Victorian bushfires. We extend our deepest sympathy to the families, communities, and firefighters facing such a devastating time.

In some more positive news, we welcomed a beautiful baby boy on Friday afternoon, and while home life is understandably busy right now, we remain committed to supporting those impacted in whatever ways we can.

Will and myself will be donating and delivering a semi load of hay to our local area of Harcourt over the next couple of days, and would like to continue to donate our time, fuel and truck with the assistance of a "buy a bale" donation scheme.
If you are in a position to donate a bale or two, they will be $85 each, and we will continue to deliver as donations come through, hopefully to many different parts of the state.

Our thoughts are with Victoria during this difficult period. 🤍
Lots of Love

A few snaps from 2025!

We had a big year with hay, 18,000 odd rounds/ large squares delivered all across Victoria, with the odd load going to SA and NSW. It was a little bit crazy at times with having a young family and being pregnant (and unwell), but proud of what we could do with the support of our lovely customers and some terrific Subbies helping us cart fodder from all over Australia.
We will be having a quiet start to 2026 as our baby is due in January but please reach out if you are after a load and we will make it happen. 🙂

Wishing all our followers, customers, subbies and suppliers a happy and safe 2026.

Maggie 🐶 and I on a girls trip to the Mornington Peninsula today, to check out this absolutely beautiful meadow horse hay.

It smells so good I could eat it myself!

Only 2-3 semi loads available.

This would be my dream hay to have a never ending supply of!

Feed test sample will be sent Monday if not sold prior.

Please contact for a delivered price if you can take truck loads.

Sorry, pick up is NA due to loading logistics
