On November 17, 2011 I wired $3,720 to the Wells Fargo bank account of Mark Broeg of the Red Barn Hay Company in Portland, Oregon.  These funds paid invoice #2026 from the Red Barn Hay Company for 240 bales of Orchard Grass hay at $15 per bale and a delivery charge of $120.  This is April 13, 2012 and to date I have not received any of the promised hay or a refund, despite many requests for either one.

  1. I've seen some interesting comments about that company in some horse forums.

    This is an FYI about Green Acres Hay Company in Roy Washington. Here is the post on the BBB website regarding the issues. With everyone looking for and buying hay I figured I would post this so no one gets burned. It is about half way down the page regardin the company.

    I bought hay from this jerk last summer. What a low life! He is very convincing on the phone, says he believes in taking good care of his customers, sells only the best hay, blah-blah-blah.

    We ordered his good quality orchard grass. He brought us many tons of feeder hay. Delivered it eight hours later than promised in the dark of night. Said the bales were just bleached on the outside. Right. Solid garbage including LOTS of mold. He first seemed very concerned when I called him the next day-near tears. Within moments he escalated into rage. One creepy SOB.

    He is located in McKenna, WA and is associated with Yellow Horses, Inc (his girlfriend I believe). They also ran that big barn (NW-something?) near Vancouver, WA into the ground. Left the place in horrible condition and with a stack of unpaid bills.

    Just a scumbag trying to make a living off of others instead of getting a job. And no, he never made it right with our hay. Remember his name: Mark Broeg.
