Hacienda Hay & Feed

Great spot for a pumpkin! Great prices and exposure to farm animals for children! The hay maze is also perfect for kids. Our son got to feed a bottle to a baby cow. Thank you!

My family and I decided we were interested in having a coulple of chickens so I went to Hacienda Hay and Feed to check out chickens and to see what I needed to keep them.
I stopped by last week and saw hens there were about six weeks old and ready to go outside. I planned on returning to Hacienda Hay and Feed once our coop came in the mail. When I returned a couple of days ago, all the young birds had been sold and we were told chicks would be coming in a few days. Chris, the owner asked how many birds I wanted and I said just two. Chris said he’d sell me two from his own flock that were about 5 months old. I thought this was such a kind gesture, especially since my 7 year old was disappointed when he heard we’d have to wait a few more days to get the hens.
Chris and his staff were more than helpful in getting us the two chickens and showing me what I needed for the two hens. He even told me to use shredded newspapers instead of buying bedding for their coop.
I initally thought about puchasing all of my chicken goods (feed, grit, oyster shell, etc) online but I believe in supporting the local business man and after seeing how awesome and helpful the staff is at Hacienda Hay and Feed, I will be doing all of my chicken good shopping there.
My two young children really enjoyed seeing the other animals that are on the property. Being a «city girl» all of my life, its a treat seeing the goats, pig, and chickens!
Thank you for all of your help with our two new girls, Hacienda Hay and Feed!

I think the animals in this «petting zoo» look pathetic. Especially the Emu in it’s too small cage. It made me feel sad. I realize they have been there forever. The store and fresh farmer’s market food are great. It’s just the zoo part that I find depressing.

if they don’t have it, they will get it !! thats what i love about this place. knowledgeable people that are always friendly!

Great spot in the valley to pick up fruits and veggies. Although it’s a bit pricey, it is still better than what you pay at earthbound farms. Be sure to try their salsas! Also, watch out for the roosters roaming around!

We don’t have enough words to describe how much we L-​O-​V-​E this place. Our two little girls enjoy seeing the animals here. And we love their great collection of vegetables and fruits, all very fresh and all priced very reasonably. The staff here are so nice and friendly. One day, a lady was asking about their pineapples. A staff cut one pineapple and gave a piece to her as a sample. I had a piece too and couldn’t resist the temptation to buy a pineapple. Later that afternoon, some guests ate pieces of that and all of them asked where we got such a sweet and favorful pineapple.

This is a great cheap date! Hacienda Hay and Feed has been around forever and is a great go to store for all things livestock. But even if all you own is a pet rock it is still worth the trip. They have their own little petting zoo consisting of an emu (don’t pet that) a burro, goat, chickens, tortoises and more. Also, they sell produce, some organic, out front.
If you are wondering what to do with little kids, it’s a fun destination for no cost, especially at Halloween as they always have a hay bale haunted house and lots of pumpkins to choose from. They are mid-​valley in Carmel Valley

Not your average hay & feed stop! First of all, the experience starts with people feed in the shape of a farmer’s market, complete with samples. Inside you’ll discover floor to ceiling options from grooming supplies to grain mixes for a variety of animals. There’s plenty to distract so be sure to make your way out back because that’s where more fun lives – a farm menagerie sure to put a smile on your face.

Been going to this place ever since I had my first horse and these people are awesome!
They treat me like a good friend — always joking and always, always polite. All of the staff, including the owner Chris, know their products and know the schedules for different deliveries. If their out of something, they know when a delivery might arrive or suggest something else temporarily.
Though I usually take my order with me, when it’s something large — like rubber mats for SR’s paddock, they will deliver and the charge (if any) is certainly reasonable.
I really love this place — makes me smile and laugh just to hang out with such great folks and see the menagerie in back.

My little dog had an eye infection for a week. We tried hot compressing, Colloidal Silver drops in her eye but one day she woke up squinting her eye and blinking rapidly. I looked in her eye and it looked like raw meat. I called a new Vet who couldn’t see her who suggested an eye specialist who wanted to charge $ 180 for the visit plus «any tests and meds»! My boyfriend said that there was a medicine for cows and horses with pink eye that you could get at a feed store. I called and spoke to the owner who was very helpful. We purchased NFZ powder and a couple other items and had fun visiting the animals and pet a few of them. The whole experience was wonderful! The owner made my doggie a free doggie tag and she did tricks for them. We felt so well taken care of and left extremely happy. 4 hours after putting the powder in my doggies eye… the swelling and redness went WAY down, and she had her eye completely open and didnt appear to be in pain any longer. It is day two now and her eye is even better. Hacienda Hay and Feed saved me money and trauma from having to take my dog back to a place where she was traumatized recently with a very difficult blood draw on her throat. I did not want to betray her by taking her back to our original vet! Thank you Hacienda Hay & Feed!

Friendly, personable staff that always have the best pet food for our dogs, cats, horses, and chickens. They always provide a fun atmosphere, with live animals (a small petting zoo!) and a hay maze at halloween time complete with great pumpkins and great prices.
Go Tom and Chris!

The best place to get firewood for camping! If you are headed out for camping at any campsite near Carmel it is worth going a little out of your way to stop here. The prices are so cheap, they are totally friendly and honest and when we went they had three types of wood to choose from. I think we paid $ 6 for more than two nights worth of wood. They suggested the Eucalyptus for a longer burn and we ended up not even using all we got by the end of the weekend it lasted so long. This is a great place for firewood!

It’s not just a hay & feed store. There are animals around back that kids love to look at. The owners are very nice. Every Halloween they create a spooky cave out of hay bales. Just stop in and buy something. You will not be sorry. Unless you buy a duck. They are terrible pets. Don’t get me started on ducks.
