Empowering customer success through premium products and exceptional service, backed by honesty and integrity.
Delmar and Trennis Ropp, Owners
No Sundays
We close so our crew is home with their families. It costs us a day of sales every week and it is not up for discussion.
Honesty and integrity
We test the field, not each bale, and we say which is which.
No bad mouthing competition
You will never hear us run down another feed store.

Find My HayWho We Are
Hay Is What We Dew
Delmar and Trennis are fifth-generation American farmers who have been in the horse hay business since 2012. They are one of only two feed stores in Florida that actually grow the hay they sell. Most of their hay is grown on their own farm in Nevada, where the high desert climate and irrigated fields produce nutrient-dense, high-quality Western hay. What they cannot grow themselves they buy from Nevada and the surrounding western states.

I get the 3 string 3rd cut alfalfa and it is wonderful especially for my 2 older horses who can chew the smaller stems and the girl at the counter was very nice and helpful. I live one hour away but will be buying again soon.
