Hi, I live in Burnaby B.C and been looking for good hay suppliers for
few weeks now.
I've been fed up with pathtic kaytee hay from pet stores and decide
to find some local farm for fresh, good priced hay.
(Couln't find any distributor for Oxbow, Vancouver Rabbit rescue
used to have it, but not anymore.)
Vanderveen Hay Sale
Address : 18726 56 Ave, Surrey, BC V3S 1G1
Telephone : 1-800-663-2678
Toll Free : 1-800-663-2678
I've found this feed distributor(farm) in local directory and
paid a visit today.
They had bale(75punds)of timothy hay for 12.xx $.
I said I don't need that much(75lbs is a lot) and the nice lady
told me to scoop whatever on the floor and even gave me an
nice big bag to put them in.
Leftover...? One might say, but it's basically same thing as bale they
have for sale. As they stock their bale, lots of hay fall off from bale blocks
. So I put those hay into huge bag and a bucket of alfafa hay as well.
I checked the freshness and smell of hay from this farm and compare it
to store bought hay, and it was a lot better. and it's free.
Well, I made an hour trip with my SUV, so I guess it isn't exactly
free but, hey, you have to drive too when you go to pet shop.
Just compare the size of bags from my picture.
14oz Kaytee hay was about 3$ in local pet shop. Bag of hay I
got for free today is at least 10 times more and twice as fresher.
I really like this farm and the people were so darn friendly like you
wouldn't believe. A person who don't even buy their bale in the middle
of the day isn't exactly best customer, but they were very nice.
(well, they have to clean the bottom of their storage anyway,
but still.........)
So I just thought I would share this good info and experience with
people here.
If this section isn't for this kind of info/talk, I'll move it right away.
Cheers.
Danny from Vancouver.
P.S-> on first pic, left is hay I got from local farm, and the right is
Kaytee hay.
P.S-> From the picture, Would you say it's good hay(the farm one)
