Over 100 years ago, the Kirkness family made the journey from Scotland to start a new life in the beautiful Fraser Valley. Five generations later, we’re proud to carry on their farming legacy—now with a focus on producing high-quality hay and nutritious forage for local farms of all sizes.

Today, Red Barn Hay Company is run by Will Kirkness and his son-in-law, Karl Unrau—the heart and muscle behind the operation. Will brings decades of farming and forage expertise, while Karl ensures every customer has a smooth and positive experience with his focus on service and efficiency.

Our motto says it all:

We make it. We deliver it. We stand by it.

Over the years, our farm has evolved to stay sustainable and efficient. From the early days of horse-drawn equipment clearing treed land, to today’s use of modern automation and land stewardship practices—hay has always been at the heart of what we do.

At Red Barn Hay Company, we’re more than just a hay supplier—we’re part of a farming tradition that values quality, reliability, and good relationships. Whether you're feeding cattle, caring for horses, or managing a hobby farm, we're here to support you with the products and service you can count on
