This organic meadow hay comes from land that has not used any chemical fertilizer/pesticides/herbicides for the past 20 years.
Has some delicious green leaves/stems mixed in and has a softer texture rather than stalky and pokey.
The bags are completely stuffed full and the hay is packed down tightly so it is more likely that you'll be purchasing more than 50L of meadow hay.
A fantastic price taking into account the quality and quantity in comparison to pet store hays.
I'm conveniently located in the Rangiora township for pick up. I am also in the city most days of the week and happy to arrange meeting buyers there.
I'm willing to post for buyers if they are happy to cover the costs of the box for shipping as well as postage.
My pet rabbits and guinea pigs have been loving the hay so you have their guaranteed stamp of approval!

Amberley residents fear a proposed development could tarnish the North Canterbury town’s rural character.
UWC Limited has submitted a resource consent application with the Hurunui District Council to expand The Clearing subdivision with sections as small as 400m2.
The subdivision, located between Amberley Beach and Carters roads, already had 123 sections established in the first two stages.
The application proposes creating a further 201 sections ranging in size from 400m2 to 1028m2, with the vast majority below 700m2.
Resident Vanessa McPherson said the proposal would put Amberley’s rural character at risk.
“It could lead to having a McDonald’s and vape shops, and people don’t want Hurunui to turn into that kind of place.”
Hurunui District Council chief executive Hamish Dobbie said the proposal would introduce “higher density housing than we would have expected” and could bring 400 new residents to the town.
The Hurunui District Plan allowed for just 20% of sections to be smaller than 700m2 for residential 1A zone.
“The 700m2 rule is an arbitrary number. It’s about how the rural character and amenity of the town is reflected,” Dobbie said.
“But we know nationally this is changing, so it’s no surprise higher density housing has come out our way.
“The question will be what the public thinks.”
Other variations to the District Plan, included several sections not meeting the 15m by 15m shape factor requirement.
The proposed subdivision also did not comply with the minimum 20m road width, and the provision of a footpath on both sides of the road.
McPherson said while she supported growth, the sheer number of sections would put pressure on existing community services.
“I feel growth is inevitable, but let's grow on our terms.
“There’s so many different factors to consider. We’re getting a lot of retirees, but the Amberley Medical Centre is already bulging at the seams.”
Dobbie said the council had completed work to expand the town’s waste water capacity and work was under way to extend the town’s drinking water supplies.
“Other services such as the medical centre, schools and shops are down to other people to provide, but our view is that growth will lead to a growth in those services.”
McPherson said neighbours were expressing concerns about the development, but were unsure how to respond.
“I feel very strongly that this subdivision is taking us down a path the community doesn’t want to go down.”
Dobbie encouraged residents to have their say and to give reasons for their views to help inform the planners.
The full application can be viewed on the Hurunui District Council website.
Submissions close on Friday, September 16.
Planning commissioners will be appointed to hear the submissions.

North Canterbury beat Ellesmere 13-0 at Lincoln on Saturday in the first ‘Battle of the Bridge’ match for three years.
“There were some pretty happy boys in the North Canterbury team,’’ head coach Matt Keane said.
“North Canterbury last won it in 2018 then lost it in 2019 and that was the last time it was played because of Covid.
“We were primed up for it last year but then the week before they stopped club rugby and we didn’t get the chance.’’
North Canterbury’s winning team at Lincoln included several players from the champion 2018 side, notably captain Josh Maynard, lock Willie Kerr and midfield back Mike Keane – the coach’s brother.
Maynard, the veteran Saracens No 8, received the maximum three points in the player of the match poll, with young Hurunui lock Flynn Crean getting two points, and Glenmark-Cheviot’s Mike Keane one.
Kerr, a Saracens loose forward for much of his career, packed down in the second row with Crean.
“We wanted to be quite mobile around the track,’’ coach Keane said. “The way scrummaging is today we didn’t think it was important to have that big tighthead lock, and we wanted to have two really great options in the lineout and use Willy’s experience.’’
North Canterbury now also have a clutch of talented young players, with Keane noting nine newcomers made debuts this season after 16 earned their first senior spurs in 2021.
He predicted bright futures for many of them, including Crean, who could go on to higher honours once he “has another 10 to 15 kilos on”.
“He’s got a massive ticker, and he’s already hard to put down [as a ball carrier].’’
Young Ashley wing Matt Couch, who is still eligible for the Colts under-21 grade, also impressed in all four senior outings this term.
The North Canterbury squad were able to channel the disappointment of having a proposed September tour of Japan postponed into the Southbridge Shield fixture.
Keane said they made a great start with tries to prop Rawiri Karena and Mike Keane for a 10-0 lead in the first quarter.
But Ellesmere applied more pressure at the breakdown in the middle stages, earning key penalties and restricting North Canterbury’s phases.
“But we got close in the last 20 two or three times,’’ Keane said. “They held us up on the line and we had a couple of dropped balls when we thought we had them.’’
Scott Allin kicked a penalty on the stroke of fulltime to extend the winning margin to 13 points.
Keane said it was encouraging to keep Ellesmere scoreless because North Canterbury’s defence – “we like to call it our attack without the ball’’ – had been disappointing in earlier matches against a Cantabrians XV and a Waitaha Canterbury Māori side.
The victory capped a memorable rugby year for North Canterbury with Glenmark-Cheviot beating Saracens in the first all-North Canterbury Combined Country club grand final.
Keane said North Canterbury rugby was working hard to close the gap “on the big boys in town’’ from the Christchurch Metro competition.
“And Ellesmere like to treat us like the little brother, so it’s nice to get them,’’ he quipped.
The North Canterbury representative team for the Southbridge Shield win over Ellesmere:
Harry Murray, Digby Heard, Matt Jensen, Mike Keane, Matt Couch, Corrigan Harnett, Jordie Gray, Josh Maynard (capt), Dan Brooker, Andrew Hull, Willie Kerr, Flynn Crean, Josh Duckworth, Louis James, Rawiri Karena. Reserves: Ryan Clark, Zach Andrews, Hayden O’Donnell, George Fox, Ben Gold, Matt Roberts, Scott Allin.
Other results:
North Canterbury teams won four of the other five grades against Ellesmere opposition.
North Canterbury Stags 36 Ellesmere 15.
Ellesmere Colts 33 North Canterbury 28.
North Canterbury 18s 22 Ellesmere 17.
North Canterbury 16s 22 Ellesmere 19.
