Hear from our clients

In many, many years of buying hay, this was my first year working with Blackwell Hay Farms. Everything was incredibly professional and on time. Cheryle was an absolute delight to order from and orchestrated delivery in a timely fashion. The hay is incredible! Very nice and my horses love it.

I’ve ordered hay and feed supplies from Blackwell Hay Farms for several years now. I have always been pleased with the consistent, high-quality bales (Rounds & Squares) they provide. The customer service is friendly and well organized, they deliver promptly and on schedule, and are very thoughtful with accommodating requests. I have a variety of animals (sheep/alpacas/horses) and ages, and all of them really enjoy the bales – so both my animals and I highly recommend Blackwell Feed!

Bethany Harris/ Woolly Meadows, Millarville

I highly recommend Rob Blackwell’s hay. Rob is a veteran hay farmer, with close to 40 years in the business. With premium grass hay available, to hay that has been put up dry, but has been “pre-soaked” for the multitude of “easy keepers’ out there, you will always find produce that suits your needs.

With delivery available, squares and rounds, Rob Blackwell makes it easy to receive your hay shipment. Rob is an honest, hardworking & knowledgeable farmer who is a pleasure to deal with.

Birgitta Wilkinson of Success With Horses

Over 40 years as a dedicated Hay producer and never slowing down is a real testament to Rob’s commitment to his passion in the hay business. He’s worked very hard over all these years and I don’t know anyone who has the patience and self-motivation as he does to make sure that he produces a quality product for his customers. Rob has been a great role model to myself and other family members and he has demonstrated that he wants to spend his life doing what his father did.

Mike Blackwell

I have known Rob for about 30 years. He is a darn good neighbour and an incredibly good farmer. He’s exceptional, a model hay farmer and a great guy.
