The latest news, tips and other helpful information from the Snohomish Co-op team so you can make the most of your farming.
When cool weather arrives we usually assume that the animals will be leaving, but in reality most of those outdoor friends are still around and in need of food and water. Birds and deer are common animals that you can continue to feed through the Fall and Winter!
One of the best ways we can take care of our animals is by being prepared. When the seasons change, the struggles that we deal with also change and as winter comes around this year the Coop wants to help you stay prepared for the cold freezes which are inevitably coming!
Cleaning your horse blankets and tack can be intimidating. They can be so dirty, they’re bulky, and you might be worried about doing it correctly. Here at the Coop, we do our very best to make taking care of your animals and farm as easy as possible.
When we think about Ice and Snow management, Ice Melt is a must. After seeing a large amount of snow and below freezing temperatures this season already, it’s a great time to look at the multiple ice melt options we have in our stores!
Taking care of your horses through the later half of the year can be a painless process as long as you are maintaining your horse correctly. Letting your horse lose condition or eat excessively can be detrimental to their overall health and will leave you with a more difficult experience in the warmer months to try and get your horse back in shape.
The Snohomish and Monroe Co-Op offer multiple solutions to problem areas that are prone to mud build up. Paving can be expensive, and planting grass or cover crops doesn’t always help in high-traffic areas.
