“This works way better than any other chopped straw for my chickens and ducks and turkeys!”
“Love it! My local store ran out of FarmStraw and I need it badly! I don’t want to use any other product for my rabbits!”
“It was the perfect bedding. The fine cut made the straw soft for comfort and good for warmth. My animals give it 5 stars.”
“I have recently purchased 11 ducks… I have tried regular straw for their bedding and this (shredded straw). My ducks and I completely agree that this shredded straw is a much better choice. Easier on their feet (softer and less tripping) Easier to clean. Get way more for money.”
“We have 6 beautiful chickens and we like them to be comfortable, warm and have the best of everything. We have tried many products in our coop to keep the girls warm and comfy in the winter here in New England and FarmStraw is absolutely the best! Never seen them so happy to be in the coops!”

FarmStraw’s innovative absorption wicks moisture down and absorbs from the bottom up, keeping the bedding surface dry, soft and comfortable. This allows your animals to live in a healthy, clean and safe environment.

FarmStraw is made with 100% Grade A Quality wheat straw which is a sustainable and renewable resource, unlike wood based products.
While all of our bedding products are absorbent, soft and fluffy, the specific form of each product affects those aspects slightly.
FarmStraw Fine: Shortest cut length for maximum absorption and softness.
FarmStraw Coarse: Longest cut length, providing good absorption, fluffiness, and excellent insulation/warmth.
EquineStraw: Mid cut length for high absorption, comfort and softness.
PetStraw: A blend of multiple straw lengths, offering maximum absorption, odor control, and fluffiness for nesting, and tunneling.
Safety is a top priority for us, and we take it seriously at every stage of production. While our products don’t hold an official certified organic label, we conduct regular and thorough testing. These tests consistently yield results either on par with certified organic straw or detecting one or two chemicals at the lowest measurement possible, well under any acceptable government standards for food products.
Yes, it is non-GMO! FarmStraw is 100% wheat straw and sourced locally from the Canadian prairies, where all wheat grown is non-GMO.
Straw in its raw form is not known for its absorption nor softness; however, through our innovative multi-step process, all of our animal bedding products are not only highly absorbent, but also incredibly soft. The innovative absorption wicks moisture down and absorbs from the bottom up, keeping the surface dry, soft and comfortable, allowing your animals to live in a healthy, clean and safe environment.
The bags are 3 cuft. When opened, the bag expands to 10-12 cu ft (283-340L) of useable product.
1 inch = 150 sq ft | 2 inches =75 sq ft | 4 inches = 35 sq ft | 6 inches = 25 sq ft
FarmStraw is absolutely safe to use in your garden! That said, it’s important to note a couple key distinctions between FarmStraw and GardenStraw. GardenStraw undergoes an additional step for enhanced seed filtration and removal, eliminating as many wheat seeds as we can that could otherwise germinate. Additionally, FarmStraw and GardenStraw differ in their cut lengths. FarmStraw is designed to maximize absorption, softness, and comfort, while GardenStraw focuses on water conservation, weed control, and soil microbiome protection, all while staying in place in potentially windy conditions.
