Review: Doesn't trigger my asthma like store bought hay - This is not cheap alfalfa hay, so I was dismayed at the size of the box when it arrived. I needn't have been as we are only now running out--after 8 weeks. They really pack it into the box, so you get more than you think (compared to the big box alfalfa hay). You definitely get value for your money. I am back today to get on the subscription plan because this stuff is just SO.MUCH.BETTER than store bought. The quality is excellent with the hay being very fresh. It's weed free, bright green, smells lovely and has no off odors, mildew or mold. I have terrible allergies (which are not made happy by a guinea pig in the house!), but this hay does not trigger my asthma like dusty, store bought alfalfa does. And while there are wisps and straggly bits of plant material, there is very little dust. We use a tiny, wooden hay rick contraption to hold the hay, keeping it both contained as well as out of the shavings and poop zone.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you use pesticides Or herbicides? Is it organic?**
A: The hay that we offer is pesticide-free. We would like to add that a common misconception is that organic means pesticide-free, however, this is not the case at all. Organic does not mean pesticide-free and pesticide-free does not mean organic. Since the term organic is merely a marketing label that is arbitrary and the requirements vary widely from state to state, we don't want to restrict the tools available to us to preserve our farm's sustainability. We pride ourselves in using sustainable farming techniques such as using compost as fertilizer, grazing, crop rotations, testing our soils, and using one-pass tillage implements in order to minimize our farm's carbon emissions.

**Q: What is the best way to store the Alfalfa Hay?**
A: The best way to store Alfalfa Hay is to fold the flaps of the cardboard box over one another and put the box in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Airtight packaging is not recommended. Hay should be able to breathe to avoid molding or fermentation.

**Q: It it normal for the hay to feel extremly dry? I purchased a 1lb box ans compared to other hay that comes in a bag it is extremly dry.**
A: Hi Brandon, we are sorry that you were not satisfied with our hay. We see that we did not get off on the right foot but we think that if you give us a chance we can make it up to you. We are not perfect but we are always learning and striving to be a little bit better each day than we were the day before. One thing our great-grandpa passed down through the generations was admitting our mistakes and taking ownership of them. Please reach out to us at tania@highdesertfeeds.com and we are more than happy to hear how we can improve and we will do our level best to make things right. Growing alfalfa is our livelihood and our family has learned a lot from farming alfalfa on the same ground through the generations. However, we admit that we are new to the small animal market and we are constantly improving our product and our processes as we make mistakes, receive feedback, and grow.

**Q: Ferrets are Carnivores why are they listed on this product, also it's not good for adult rabbits either?**
A: Dont feed it to your ferrets or adult bunnies. All adult bunnies come from baby bunnies. Alfalfa is imperative to Young rabbits.

BUNNIE LOVE THIS STUFF

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ FINALLY!!
*by M***A on January 12, 2026*

My rabbits LOVE this alfalfa hay! When I opened the box I couldn't believe how fresh it looked (so green), and the smell was even fresher. My rabbits would barely eat the other stuff. They would pick through it. It was just so brown and dry looking. But when I started buying Dessert High, oh my goodness, they devoured it so fast that I could barely keep up with them!! So this is the hay I am buying from now on. Its not that much more if it makes my bunnies that happy!! At this time they are still under 6 month of age ( it's Jan 2026). We are on our 2nd box, and I just ordered our 3rd in the 10lb size.
