According to NC State Extension, straw mulch works best applied at roughly one to one-and-a-half bales per 1,000 square feet — a good rule of thumb whether you're covering a new lawn or mulching a vegetable bed. If you're not sure how many bales your project needs, give us a call and we can help you figure out the right amount.
Straw or Hay? Here's the Difference
It's one of the most common questions we get, and it's an easy mix-up — the two are often used interchangeably in conversation, but they're not the same product. Straw is the dry, hollow stalk left over after wheat is harvested, while hay is cut and baled specifically as animal feed, grasses and all. As the Piedmont Master Gardeners point out, straw bales are lighter, easier to spread, and far less likely to carry weed seeds than hay — which is exactly why straw, not hay, is the better choice for garden mulch and clean animal bedding. When you buy wheat straw bales from Bunn Family Farms, you're getting straw specifically, grown and baled here on our own land, not a mixed load that might carry weeds into your garden.
Our Commitment to Quality
Locally Grown & Harvested
We take pride in producing high-quality wheat straw bales that are free from weeds and impurities. Our straw is carefully baled to ensure it's easy to handle and store, making it a dependable choice for any project.
Every bale comes off land our family has farmed since 1781, right alongside the same fields where we grow our exotic pumpkins each fall. That's not just a heritage detail — it means we're handling and storing straw the same careful way we've always done, so what you pick up is consistent, clean, and ready to use whether you're buying a single bale or placing a bulk order.
Landscapers, contractors, and anyone tackling a larger project are welcome to reach out ahead of time about bulk pricing — we're happy to set aside what you need so you're not making multiple trips. Local pickup keeps things simple, and because everything is grown and baled right here, there's no wait on a shipment from out of state.
