Product Description

Sourced locally, our straw is grown and harvested right here in the United States. This versatile material serves a variety of purposes:

Animal Bedding
For many years, straw has been a preferred bedding option for horses and farm animals. Its insulating properties keep animals warm, while its natural ability to allow liquids such as urine to drain away ensures a dry and comfortable resting area. Moreover, straw is typically more cost-effective than wood shavings and other bedding materials.

Garden Mulch
Using straw as mulch enhances your garden's aesthetics and health. It contributes additional biomass, effectively suppressing weed growth around your flowers and plants.

Mushroom Cultivation
In the world of mushroom farming, straw and hay bales are popular for their cost-effectiveness and convenience as substrate. While various mushrooms can be cultivated at home, oyster mushrooms are particularly easy to grow and thrive well in hay bale conditions.

Egg Hygiene for Chickens
If you keep chickens, be sure to place plenty of fresh straw in their nesting boxes. This practice not only helps maintain cleaner eggs but also plays a role in preventing eggs from breaking.

Lawn Establishment
When planting grass seeds or caring for newly sprouted plants, it's crucial to keep the soil moist. Straw effectively reduces soil moisture evaporation, ensuring that the seeds remain hydrated, which is essential for germination. Allow the straw to sit atop the seeds until they sprout sufficiently for their first mowing. Once it's time to mow, you can either remove the straw or let it decompose naturally amidst the grass blades.

What is Wheat Straw?
Wheat straw consists of the stems and leaves of the wheat plant, residues that remain after the grain has been harvested for milling. Our bales are entirely natural, biodegradable, and free from genetically modified organisms (G.M.O.).

Utilizing our straw is a simple task—just cut the strings and shake apart the bales to create a protective layer of mulch in your garden, particularly effective around strawberry and tomato plants. Aside from gardening uses, straw is also beneficial for mushroom cultivation and assisting with moisture retention during grass cultivation from seed.

The lengthy stems of this straw naturally attract backyard chickens, inviting them to scratch and play. Furthermore, it is an excellent addition to their nesting boxes, contributing to a cleaner egg-laying environment.

A Favorite among Pets
Straw isn't just for farm animals! Cats, rabbits, rodents, and many other pets love using straw for bedding. It provides a clean, cozy, and comfortable resting area, making it a perfect choice for their needs.

In summary, our locally sourced straw offers a myriad of beneficial applications, whether in gardening, animal care, or creating a nurturing habitat for your beloved pets. Make straw a part of your essential gardening and animal husbandry toolkit today!
