April 2023 Issue

Page 8 April 2023 EAST COAST EQUESTRIAN By Don Salzsauler Our family at Flax Farm has been manufacturing animal bed- ding for the past seven years To protect ourselves from the change in climate conditions, and recent droughts, we set out to develop an alternative product in 2021. Our 2023 bedding product (Prairie Blend) is a blend of hemp and canola. These crops both grow well in Manitoba’s harsh weather conditions, pro- viding an abundant raw material supply. Prairie Blend has all the features of our original flax bedding. It is dust free, very absorbent, easy and economical to use. It is easily disposed of, as it acts as a fertilizer, and need not be composted. It is an annually renewable resource. It is a favourite of horse owners who have animals with respiratory health issues or hives. The addition of state-of-the- art manufacturing equipment guarantees product quality and a 30 lb bag weight. Bags are now a double layer poly allow- ing waterproof storage with an “easy open” closure. (No knives required.) Prairie Blend lasts much longer than wood bedding , saves time, and is easily dis- posed of, making it the least ex- pensive way to bed a horse. For more information or to order, phone (416) 579-7876 or visit flaxfarm.ca.
