Customers

The company grows alfalfa, hay, and grass hay for horses, servicing the Midwest and expanding into other states supplying premium horse barns.

Customer Acquisition

The business relies heavily on reputation and inbound demand, with excellent Google and Facebook reviews from satisfied customers. Marketing is conducted through Facebook and Instagram with strong results, but word-of-mouth reputation is the primary driver.

Team

The business employs five full-time employees with long tenure, including an operating foreman with 20 years of experience who knows all operational aspects, including order processing, fulfillment, shipping, and collections.

Owner's Role

Owner involvement is minimal and focused on overseeing operations rather than daily tasks; the owner does not work full time.

Reason for Selling

Owner, age 74, is seeking to sell the business and retire.

Contracts

Customers make commitments verbally without written contracts. The business stores labeled hay in barns and provides next-day delivery year-round upon a single customer text message.

Real Estate

Real estate is not for sale; the owner owns the property where the business operates, including the hay barn, storage, machinery shop, and gathering areas. The buyer can lease all facilities and equipment from the owner for $180,000 per year, which is already included in SDE.
