About Aden Brook
At Aden Brook we are professional hay men, we are dedicated to sourcing and delivering consistent quality hay to our customers year after year. We love what we do; we are passionate about our hay, our customers, our farmers and our trucks. It all started when Nick Fitzpatrick was a boy, he would sit on a rock wall and watch the neighbor farmer make hay each summer. He was intrigued by the process and loved the smell and sounds of it. When he was old enough the farmer let Nick ride the tractor and help stack in the wagon. By age 15 Nick rented hay equipment and started making hay on another farm he rented near the aden brook (a stream that’s runs off of aden hill where he grew up) . Soon came the challenge of marketing and delivering the hay that he had baled all summer. This he found to be the most interesting part and as soon as he was sixteen and could drive he purchased a dually pickup and a flatbed trailer. Nick went out and found customers and when he sold all his hay he decided that he could purchase it from other farmers, deliver it and make a profit. Just like that Nick was a hay dealer at age 16 with a lot to learn.
Many hard lessons were learned in the next 10 years….
Today Aden Brook Agri Sales is a small experienced company closely managed by Nick. We source hay all over the country having a vast knowledge of where the good weather was for making hay last season and what kind of hay is there. We take our trucks and travel there to pick out the best hay suited for the needs of our customers and overcome the logistical challenges of hauling it long distance to the delivery. We take pride in knowing the hay we sell, the farmers that make it and every mile of road to the customer. Our full menu of hay and straw products includes all types of hay and in different qualities specific to different customers’ needs. Our delivery services are second to none. We have custom built trucks made just for hauling large loads of hay and getting in to different types of farms. Our crews and drivers are professionals in stacking hay neatly and leaving the customer happy and the work of putting it away and cleaning up completed. Almost every day, you can find Nick somewhere in the countryside loading or delivering hay in one of his choice peterbilt trucks.
