Bayshore Country Feeds

Georgian Bay Candle Co. is a family-owned business born from a love of adventure, community, and the breathtaking beauty of the Georgian Bay area. As parents who found themselves empty nesters, we set out to find something meaningful to do together — and our journey led us here.

Inspired by day trips, local markets, cozy coffee shops, and the incredible people and businesses that make this region so special, we handcraft clean-burning coconut soy candles that capture the spirit of Georgian Bay. Each candle celebrates the places, stories, and memories that make this community home.

From our family to yours, thank you for supporting small-batch, locally inspired candles that light up more than just a room — they spark connection, warmth, and pride in the place we all love.

Winter is in full swing, and it's time for horse owners to ensure they feed correctly for this time of year.

Feeding high-quality forage is essential in helping your horse keep warm. All feed creates heat, but quality fiber digestion creates the most heat, which keeps your horse warm in the colder months.

A horse should be fed 2% of its body weight in forage per day. But that does not account for hay waste or extremely cold weather conditions.

"Cold temperatures also change the daily feeding requirement. The lower critical temperature for horses with a heavy winter coat during dry, calm weather is 30 F. For each 10-degree change below 30 degrees, horses require an additional intake of approximately 2 pounds of feed per day (assuming the feed has an energy density of 1 mega calorie per pound, which is typical for most hay).

A 10- to 15-mph wind will require horses to consume an additional 4 to 8 pounds of hay to meet their increased energy requirements. When a horse without shelter becomes wet and encounters wind, it must consume an additional 10 to 14 pounds of hay." (NDSU Agriculture Communication - Jan. 29, 2013)

This time of year can be hard to acquire additional hay, and even if you can, do you know the quality?

MAAAX provides an easy solution. Quality-tested forage, sufficient nutrients, fats and proteins to keep horses happy, warm, and healthy.

MAAAX can now be easily found at many dealers across Ontario.
