    FAQs

    What is the difference between Straw and Hay?
    Straw is made from harvesting the stalks of wheat or barley. It is used for bedding for animals. Hay is grass, mown, turned and harvested, with the sunshine on. It takes 3 days of good weather to make hay, quite a feat in this country.

    All our hay is made here on the farm and is as fresh & fragrant as you can get. It is much softer than straw and is generally used as animal feed.

    Can I hire straw bales?
    Yes. All we need is 7 days notice.

    What can straw bales be used for?
    Our straw bales can be used for corporate events, weddings, barn dances, assault courses, festivals, creating a toddler pen at a street party, seating at picnics and camp outs, kid’s parties and even a temporary dog enclosure.
