Premium Organic Alfalfa Hay for Sale

The Foundation of Superior Livestock Nutrition

Alfalfa hay has long been recognized as one of the most nutrient-rich forages available for livestock and equine diets. At Hidalgo Farms, we grow and supply USDA Certified Organic alfalfa hay that delivers optimal protein, energy, and palatability — all without the use of synthetic chemicals or genetically modified seed.

Our farm in Peña Blanca, New Mexico benefits from the natural irrigation and fertile soils of the Rio Grande Valley. These conditions produce dense, leafy alfalfa that’s rich in vitamins, minerals, and digestible fiber. Each bale is carefully harvested and handled to preserve quality from the field to your feed room. We pride ourselves on offering hay that meets the standards of professional trainers, organic livestock producers, and family farms alike.

Why Choose Organic Alfalfa Hay

Choosing organic alfalfa hay means choosing purity and performance. Unlike conventionally grown forage, our alfalfa is produced using only organic-approved inputs. We never use synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides — instead, we rely on crop rotation, composted soil amendments, and biological pest control to maintain field health.

Organic hay reduces chemical exposure for your animals while supporting stronger immune systems, improved digestion, and consistent body condition. For certified organic livestock operations, it also ensures feed compliance, allowing your business to maintain full USDA organic certification.

Every bale we produce is a reflection of our commitment to environmental stewardship and animal well-being. Feeding organic hay means you’re supporting both cleaner nutrition and sustainable agriculture across New Mexico.

Nutritional Value and Performance Benefits

Alfalfa hay is prized for its high nutritional profile and digestibility. Our premium bales typically range between 15% and 20% crude protein, depending on the cutting and maturity stage. This makes it an ideal feed for:

Horses grazing in a grassy field under a cloudy sky. Brown and white horses eat. Mountains in the distance.

Performance and working horses that require energy-dense forage

Goats eating hay in a pen, with some looking at the camera.

Dairy goats and cattle that need high-quality protein to support milk production

Four baby goats frolic on dirt and straw; brown, black, and white spotted coats.

Growing livestock and young animals developing muscle and bone structure

Rabbit with black and white spots and black ears sitting in hay.

Breeding stock and broodmares that benefit from rich mineral content

The natural balance of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus in alfalfa supports skeletal strength and metabolic efficiency. Its soft, leafy structure encourages steady intake and minimizes waste. Because our hay is cured at low moisture levels and handled carefully, you’ll find minimal dust and excellent flake formation in every bale.


Our Growing and Harvesting Process

At Hidalgo Farms, excellence begins long before the first bale is tied. We start with non-GMO, organic-certified alfalfa seed planted in soil enriched with compost and cover crops. Throughout the season, we monitor irrigation closely to avoid stress and nutrient imbalance.

When the crop reaches optimal maturity, we cut early in the morning to preserve leaf integrity. The hay is field-cured under natural sunlight to achieve safe moisture levels before baling. We avoid excessive handling to reduce leaf loss — ensuring the most nutritious parts of the plant remain intact.

Each bale is compact, uniform, and tested for moisture before storage. Once baled, we stack hay in ventilated, protected barns to maintain color, aroma, and freshness. The result is high-protein organic alfalfa hay with exceptional quality and shelf life.

We understand that no two feeding programs are alike. Whether you’re balancing rations for performance horses or supplementing forage for a dairy herd, our team can help you select the right cutting and bale type to fit your goals.

Quality Control and Assurance

Quality is the cornerstone of everything we do. Before each shipment, our hay undergoes visual inspection for color, leaf content, aroma, and density. We reject any bale that shows signs of mold, excess moisture, or discoloration. Our curing process ensures moisture levels remain low, which prevents dust and spoilage.

We also maintain traceability records for every lot, allowing customers to track their hay back to specific fields and cuttings. This transparency gives our buyers confidence that what they’re feeding meets true USDA organic standards.

When you open a bale from Hidalgo Farms, you’ll notice the difference immediately — the vibrant color, the fresh scent, and the clean, flaky texture that animals love.

Common Uses and Feeding Tips

Alfalfa hay can be used as a primary forage source or as part of a balanced ration. Many of our customers feed straight alfalfa to high-performance animals, while others mix it with grass hay for more moderate energy intake.

Because alfalfa is naturally rich, it’s best to match portions to activity level and body condition. We’re happy to provide guidance on selecting the right mix for your animals.
