Eight acres dedicated as our hay field regularly produce two cuttings of hay for our horses and other farm animals. A local farmer cuts, bales, and stacks it in the barn. He has been providing fresh hay to fill the barn from other local fields when our winter needs are greater than what the field produces.

The barn has two upper lofts for hay storage. We usually put in over 1200 square bales and there is room for 2000 bales or more. This is the top loft, not even stacked to capacity.
