The equines are pretty happy to have switched over to this year\u2019s fragrant green crop. And we\u2019re pretty happy to have a barn loft full of the stuff, capably grown and correctly cut, dried and baled by a local gentleman farmer with a very green thumb.

Better ventilation (oh, and no more leaks!) has made all the difference!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2363\" src=\"https:\/\/muddyvalleyfarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/91ff1ec7-bf2b-4e2e-97df-4993ba77f069.jpeg\" alt=\"91FF1EC7-BF2B-4E2E-97DF-4993BA77F069\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nom nom nom, tasty new hay!
