Organic Alfalfa and Grass Hay in Peña Blanca, NM
Introduction to Our Organic Hay
Hidalgo Farms proudly grows and supplies USDA Certified Organic alfalfa and grass hay from our fields in the Rio Grande Valley. Located at 17 Acequia Road in Peña Blanca, New Mexico, our farm is known for premium hay that livestock owners, horse trainers, and ranchers depend on for quality, consistency, and nutrition. Each bale we produce is carefully harvested and stored to preserve its leafiness, rich green color, and natural aroma.
Our focus is simple: deliver clean, safe, and nutrient-rich forage that meets the highest organic standards. We never use synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or genetically modified seed. Instead, we rely on traditional crop rotations, composted soil nutrients, and irrigation management that protect both soil and water quality. When you choose Hidalgo Farms, you’re choosing hay grown responsibly — from seed to stack — to keep your animals healthy and your operation compliant with organic certification requirements.
We’re open
seven days a week, 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, and welcome customers to call or visit to discuss availability, protein content, and delivery options throughout New Mexico.
Why Organic Hay Matters
Organic hay plays an essential role in maintaining both livestock health and long-term soil vitality. By avoiding chemical inputs, we ensure that each cutting contains the cleanest, most natural nutrition possible. Our approach supports microbial life in the soil, which enhances mineral absorption in plants — and ultimately improves the feed value animals receive.
For livestock producers, feeding USDA Certified Organic hay supports your organic program’s documentation and compliance. For horse owners, it means peace of mind knowing your animals aren’t ingesting harmful residues or dust that can trigger respiratory irritation. When animals consume cleaner hay, they digest more efficiently, maintain better coat condition, and perform with greater stamina.
Choosing organic also supports sustainability. Our farm’s irrigation and pest control systems are designed to conserve water and encourage biodiversity in the Rio Grande Valley. Every bale from Hidalgo Farms reflects not only our commitment to quality but also our respect for the land that sustains us.
Key Benefits of Buying
from Hidalgo Farms
When customers ask what makes our hay different, the answer lies in the details of how we grow and handle it. Our organic alfalfa hay is recognized for its high protein, excellent leaf retention, and soft texture. It’s a top choice for performance horses, dairy goats, and other livestock requiring nutrient-dense forage. Our organic grass hay is known for being soft, clean, and dust-free — perfect for horses with allergies or animals on maintenance diets.
Each bale is tested for moisture and density before storage to prevent mold and spoilage. We monitor harvest maturity to achieve a consistent balance of protein, energy, and fiber. Our rotational cropping helps maintain soil fertility and minimizes weed pressure without the need for chemicals. Because we hand-inspect bales during stacking, you can expect uniform quality whether you buy ten bales or a full truckload.
We also understand that reliability matters. Our customers depend on us to deliver on time and provide accurate information about hay characteristics, cutting schedules, and storage tips. We take that responsibility seriously.
Our Growing and
Harvesting Process
From seed to stack, every step at Hidalgo Farms follows strict organic practices. We start with non-GMO, organic-approved seed, planted in nutrient-rich soil built through compost and cover crops. We irrigate using sustainable techniques that reduce runoff and improve plant health.
When harvest time arrives, we cut at peak maturity to preserve nutrients and softness. The hay is field-cured under natural sunlight, then baled at safe moisture levels to prevent dust and retain its vibrant green color. Each bale is tightly packed, tested for dryness, and stored in a clean, ventilated facility to maintain freshness through every season.
Our process doesn’t end with baling. We regularly monitor storage areas for moisture and airflow, ensuring your hay arrives in the same premium condition it left our fields. Every batch is labeled by cutting and lot, so you can maintain complete traceability for your organic certification or feeding program.
