Each field is ploughed and prepared every 2 years to maintain consistant, high quality grass.
After many stages of ground preparation the soil is ready for seed.
In late spring or early summer, and only when the grass is at its optimum, the first cut of the season is made. A further 2 cuts can made from each field.
The haylage is turned many times to help it dry before it is raked into rows ready for the baler.
The small baler now takes over to pick up the haylage and compress it into 35kg bales.
The baler feeds the bales into the sledge which produces a convenient 8 bale drop.
The bales are taken for wrapping within 2 hours for the best quality and freshness.
Our bales are left to mature ready for sale next season.
