Bring a little bit of the hedgerow into their forage bowl with Hawthorn Leaf – a naturally fibrous browse packed with texture, aroma and beneficial plant compounds.

Hawthorn is a traditional British hedgerow plant whose leaves naturally contain polyphenols, flavonoids and other antioxidant compounds. The leaves make excellent natural browse, encouraging animals to chew, investigate and select their food in much the same way they would when exploring wild vegetation.

Choose 100% Pure Hawthorn Leaf for a simple single-ingredient browse, or opt for the Hawthorn Grass Mix, combining generous hawthorn leaves with natural grass for extra fibre, grazing and enrichment.

Natural leaves. Proper browse. No unnecessary extras.

🌿 Hawthorn's Natural Benefits

🌳 Hawthorn Leaf

Hawthorn leaves contain naturally occurring flavonoids, polyphenols and proanthocyanidins, giving the plant an interesting antioxidant profile.

🛡️ Antioxidant Support

Naturally occurring plant compounds provide antioxidant botanical variety alongside a balanced diet.

🌿 Anti-Inflammatory Support

Hawthorn contains plant compounds associated with anti-inflammatory activity, making it a useful supporting botanical within general wellbeing and senior forage rotations.

🌱 Digestion & Fibre

The leaves provide natural plant fibre and make an excellent addition to a varied, forage-led diet.

🐾 Senior & Mobility

Its combination of natural browse, antioxidants and botanical variety makes hawthorn particularly useful within forage rotations designed for ageing animals.

🍽️ Appetite & Enrichment

Hawthorn's natural scent and leafy texture create another flavour and texture for animals to investigate, helping encourage natural food-searching behaviours.

🌾 Natural Grass – Grass Mix Only

Grass adds another layer of fibre and texture to the blend, encouraging natural grazing while supporting a healthy fibre-led digestive system.

Rather than simply eating from a pile of leaves, animals can search, select and forage amongst the grass, turning feeding into enrichment.

🌿 Pure or Grass Mix – Which Should I Choose?

Choose Pure Hawthorn Leaf if you:

🌿 Want a straightforward single-ingredient browse.

🌿 Already provide plenty of grasses and hay.

🌿 Want to add hawthorn to your own forage mixtures.

🌿 Prefer complete control over individual ingredients.

🌿 Have an animal that particularly loves leafy browse.

Choose the Hawthorn Grass Mix if you:

🌿 Why Hawthorn?

Hawthorn isn't included simply because it makes a bag of forage look interesting.

It's genuine British hedgerow browse.

Its leaves naturally contain a wide range of plant compounds, while their texture encourages the chewing, grazing and exploratory behaviours that make natural forage so valuable.

The Grass Mix takes that one step further by creating a forage animals have to search through rather than simply eat from a bowl.

🌿 The GGT Approach

Foraging should be more than simply putting another food in a bowl.

Choose it pure, or add grass for an even more natural grazing experience.

Browse. Search. Graze. Explore.
