Excelsior Pads

Give your hens a clean, comfortable place to lay with our premium Aspen Excelsior Nest Pads. Made in the USA from 100% sustainably sourced aspen wood fibers and kraft paper backing.

What is Aspen Excelsior?

Aspen excelsior is made by shredding aspen logs into thin, curly wood fibers using specialized machines. These machines slice the wood along the grain to produce long, springy strands, often referred to as "wood wool." The result is a soft, natural, and biodegradable filler that’s ideal for packaging, cushioning, animal bedding, and decorative use.

Our aspen is only sourced from forest product companies that hold memberships in Sustainable Forestry programs.

Aspen is a self-propagating tree and renews itself from its own root system which makes it a good environmental choice. 

Excelsior fibers are 100% biodegradable.
