Lucerne Farms offers a variety of pre- mium forages, including Chopped Hay Feeds, Hay/ Straw Bedding, and Hay/Straw Mulch to customers across the eastern seaboard. Lucerne Farms Forage Blends: • Improve digestion • Slows feeding time • Reduce the chance of ulcers • Aid in weight management • Decrease dental issues • Reduce quidding • Increase performance • Mimic natural grazing • Provide vital long-stem forage for senior horses • Dust is extracted for horses with COPD and other respiratory sensitivities. Lucerne Farms forage undergoes a unique high-temperature drying process that maximizes nutrients and processing that eliminates mold spores without the use of chemicals. All products undergo laboratory analysis, so customers know exactly the contents and the ratios of proteins, fat, and fiber. A family farm since 1992, Lucerne Farms was founded by Dr. George A. James inAroostook County, Maine and is now owned and operated by Richard James (son of George A. James) who works alongside his mother Susie James (Co-founder). “We were the first bagged, chopped forage of its kind in the US,” said Megan Kennedy, Administrator. “To this day, it’s all we specialize in. With our name comes trust.” As the cold winter months set in, horses nat- urally require more hay and bedding to stay warm and maintain energy. Providing high-quality forage and comfortable bedding from Lucerne Farms helps ensure your horses stay healthy, cozy, and well-nour- ished all season long. All Lucerne Farms products are available in stores East of the Mississippi river. The Hi Fiber blend is available in various Tractor Supply stores nationwide. Visit lucernefarms.com to learn more.
