Switchgrass is a hardy perennial grass, native to North America, and one of the key species of the tallgrass prairie ecosystem. It grows up to 8’ tall and is considered a viable candidate for biomass production as it has remarkable ability to grow on marginal land, and doesn’t require fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides to thrive. Switchgrass is grown and harvested similarly to hay crops. It is cut back in the fall, allowing it to lay in windrows throughout the winter - stripping it of its nutrients and seeds, then baled in early spring to process. It is baled at approximately 8-10% moisture, allowing it to become ideally dry for bedding.

  • Naturally Antimicrobial

    Healthier bedding, healthier animals.

    Switchgrass is a natural bedding solution that offers antimicrobial benefits. By reducing bacteria and fungi growth, it lowers infection risks such a thrush, and supports the comfort, cleanliness, and overall well-being for horses, livestock and pets.

  • Hypoallergenic

    Dust free comfort for everyone.

    Properly processed Switchgrass produces minimal to no dust, making it an ideal natural bedding option. Being virtually dust-free, it helps reduce irritation and supports animals (and humans) with allergies or respiratory sensitivities.

  • Environmentally Sustainable

    Organic, local, sustainable.

    What could be more renewable than a native perennial grass? It can be grown on marginal lands, is native to North America, and does not require pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizer to thrive. It is grown, harvested, and processed, all in Ontario.

  • Highly Absorbent

    Impressive moisture retention.

    Absorbing up to 2.5 times its weight in moisture, it performs exceptionally well to keep stalls and pens dry, and reduces odor. This added comfort and cleanliness supports the overall health and well-being of your livestock and other animals.

  • Fine Chopped De-dusted Switchgrass

    Excellent for horse bedding, livestock bedding, poultry bedding, or garden mulch.

  • De-dusted Switchgrass

    De-dusted Switchgrass

  • "This is the first time I have bedded a stall without sneezing!"

  • "There was no dust when spreading the in the stall. I have a 10x12 stall and I find the bag covers more compared to shavings. Got an extra day out of good bedding compared to shavings."

  • "Wow. It is so cushiony."

  • "One bag covered the 7x20 trailer floor perfectly and was nice for cleaning out. Didn't seem to stick on the checker plate like shavings did."
