Why buy organic hay from Hess Land & Livestock
- Certified by Oregon Tilth since 2006. A continuous, USDA-accredited organic certification we've held for nearly two decades, with the documented status to prove it.
- Grown on our own farm. We don't guess at a supplier's practices. The certified organic hay we cut comes off fields we manage and inspect ourselves.
- Untreated and non-GMO. We grow it without synthetic inputs or genetically modified seed, so the hay stays clean from the field straight onto the truck.
- Alfalfa and grain hay. Two of the most useful organic forages for dairy and livestock, available certified organic from our own ground.
- Access to specialty organic varieties. Through our brokerage network we can source organic varieties beyond what we grow, so you have one call to make instead of five.
Certified organic alfalfa, grain hay, and specialty varieties
Our own certified organic production centers on alfalfa and grain hay — forages that anchor most organic feed programs. Beyond what we grow, our brokerage gives us access to additional specialty organic varieties as supply allows. Availability shifts through the year, so call and tell us what you need; we'll tell you what's cut, what's coming, and what we can lock in.
Hay is sold by the truckload, priced per ton and delivered. Because cuttings, quality, and freight all move with the market, pricing is current-season — call for current pricing and we'll quote your load and delivery together.
Who certified organic hay is for
If you run a certified-organic dairy or livestock operation, your own certification is only as clean as your feed. Bring in hay that can't be documented as organic and you put your status — and your premium — at risk. Our hay closes that gap: it carries the certification trail your inspector expects, so the forage in your bunk never becomes the weak link in your audit. We supply organic dairies, beef and sheep operations, and small certified producers who want a steady, verifiable hay source instead of chasing loads each cutting.
