The History of Allendale Farm
Allendale Farm started out in the 1770's as a frontier tobacco
plantation. Tobacco was farmed with mules, horses and intensive
hand labor then taken to market by bateau and canal boats.
Over two hundred years later, the farm's primary product is fine
quality horse hay.
Allendale Farm Today
Our success in our continued quality is our ability to get the hay up
quickly from field to barn for proper curing. On average we grow
and harvest 600+ tons of hay, using modern tractors, mowers and
balers with a minimum amount of labor, generally two men. We
store the hay as 1500 pound bales, but to meet the demand of
square bales, we use a unique device invented by a Georgia hay
farmer that repackages our hay into convenient 40 pound square
bales.
