Bales of Wheat Straw

Our wheat straw bales are field-cured, golden wheat straw — the byproduct left over after a wheat harvest — baled tight and delivered ready to use. Each bale weighs approximately 43 lbs, sized for easy handling whether you're bedding a stall, lining a coop, or building a Fall display on your porch.

Three Ways Customers Use Our Wheat Straw

Animal bedding & feed supplement.

Wheat straw is a longtime staple for livestock and small-animal bedding — horse stalls, chicken coops, rabbit hutches, goat pens — because it's absorbent, insulates well against cold, and is far less dusty than many hay alternatives. It's also commonly used as a low-cost feed supplement or roughage filler for livestock, though it's lower in nutritional value than hay and shouldn't replace a proper feed ration.

Coop & stall litter.

Same bale, same reasons: good absorbency, holds up under regular mucking-out, and composts cleanly afterward if you're already running a manure/compost system.

Fall Harvest Decor.

A classic porch, storefront, and farm-stand staple every autumn — stacked bales anchor a pumpkin display, flank a front walk, or serve as casual outdoor seating for a Fall gathering. Straw bales hold their shape and color through the season better than loose straw or hay.

What's in a Bale

Each wheat straw bale weighs approximately 43 lbs, hand- or machine-baled and stored dry.

Why Buy From Mid-Atlantic Pine Straw

You already know us for premium longleaf pine straw and salt hay — wheat straw bales are delivered as an add-on to Pine Straw orders across our PA, NJ, NY, MD, and DE service area, from our PA Headquarters.

Not What You're Looking For?

If you're mulching a vegetable garden or overseeding a lawn, Salt Hay is the better fit — it's harvested from coastal marsh, not a cultivated wheat field, so it comes essentially free of the weed seeds that field-grown straw can carry into a garden bed. For landscape beds and walkways, Pine Straw Mulch is the right product.
