I love this company and their hay! They worked so hard and diligently to find us the right hay for a variety of equines at our sanctuary and even found it at a discounted price for us. They are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We now have better hay with less waste and at a better price. We couldn't be happier with Sweet Grass!

We love this family and their hay! We have an entire semi load and every bale is so consistent, it’s unbelievable. Best part is they used their skid loader and we didn’t touch a bale. 800 beautiful bales and we just watched our barn fill up. How wonderful is that?! We just foaled out our first crop of foals on this hay as well. And when Momma and baby look this good 2 weeks post birth? I couldn’t be happier! Thank you!

These are the kindest, most caring, and hard working people! You can not find a hay source that cares more about your animals health than Nicole and Alvin. AND Alvin is a magician with his bob cat to help you get the most hay you can in your storage!

We have two quarter horses. One is an easy keeper and the other can be difficult to keep from going hangry. I found Nicole and Alvin on Facebook, and the hay quality did NOT disappoint. Well versed in dietary needs and feeding schedules, they both went above and beyond explaining what they would do to help keep our horses happy, healthy, and fed PROPERLY. Highly recommend this sweet family for all your quality hay needs!

Tyler's recovery would not be where it is today had we not met Nicole and Alvin of Sweet Grass Farms, lifesaving for us in helping develop a forage based nutritional plan for both of them. We are grainfree.....but with superb quality tested hay low in NSC.
