Nestled in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, Heidel Hollow Farm, Inc. stands as a testament to agricultural innovation and family tradition.
This bicentennial farm, managed by the 10th and 11th generations of the Fink family, has been at the forefront of quality hay production for over five decades.
The farm's hay-making process combines traditional methods with cutting-edge technology.
Large 3' x 4' x 8' bales are initially baled in the field.
These bales then undergo a revolutionary drying process using the Chinook Hay Dryer.
This advanced machine utilizes long spears to dry bales from the inside out, significantly reducing drying time and improving hay quality by minimizing dust, mold, and spoilage.
After drying, the hay is compressed using the Steffen compressing system.
This compression process not only makes the hay more manageable but also optimizes storage and transportation efficiency.
All hay is stored in breathable shrink-wrapped pallets to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage.
The farm offers hay year-round, ensuring customers always have access to high-quality forage.
Heidel Hollow Farm's commitment to quality extends beyond production.
All hay is tested to ensure its nutritional value and suitability for various markets.
The farm has been exporting hay overseas since 1974, showcasing its global reach and reputation for excellence.
The farm produces Hydration Hay® bricks using a proprietary process.
These compact bricks rehydrate quickly and provide fresh feed with consistent quality, even when traveling or using foreign water sources.
Heidel Hollow Farm, Inc. also offers cash and carry hay sales, ranging from single bales to full tractor-trailer loads.
Additionally, they provide domestic hay delivery services along the east coast of the United States, ensuring their high-quality products are accessible to a wide range of customers.
With 1,600 acres under management, including 700 acres dedicated to hay production, Heidel Hollow Farm, Inc. continues to lead the way in modern agricultural practices.
By combining family tradition with technological advancement, the farm ensures high-quality hay production year-round, serving both domestic and international markets with unparalleled efficiency and care.
