We are a family farm that has been in business for over 40 years. As an industry leader in supplying Pipeline & Construction Straw, we aim to supply high-quality construction straw for mulch, seeding, and erosion control. In addition, we provide certified weed-free straw on request, with delivery in state or out-of-state.
At Murphy Farms, our goals are safety, integrity, longevity and high-quality customer service. Our truck fleet consists of modern, well-maintained trucks, including semi-trucks, flatbeds, drop decks, gooseneck trailers, and enclosed 53 foot vans. With these, we are able to deliver small loads or large loads and have small squares, large squares, and 4 x 5 rounds that we net wrap.
Murphy Farms employees take pride in our products and dedicate ourselves to service. Fortunately, we have a broad based association of straw producers in Michigan, Indiana and Ohio who keep our inventory well maintained. For several years our farm has been providing straw to Precision Pipeline from Eau Claire, WI, Welded Construction from Perrysburg, OH, Minnesota Limited from Big Lake, MN, and United Piping Inc from Duluth, MN.

Services
Family owned and operated, Murphy Farms strives to be honest and ethical and to treat others as family. Above all, we want to offer high quality products and achieve a high rate of on-time delivery. We believe in the old farm adage, "You can't grow two crops in a field ", meaning no weeds. Our company understands the fast-paced needs and demands of the construction industry and the necessity of on-time delivery with a quality straw product.
Murphy Farms offers a variety of additional services related to rural farming and farm maintenance. At Murphy Farms, we specialize in rural farms of all types, including barns, houses, and silos, and we are always respectful of your driveway and property. In addition, we offer dismantlement and recycling for re-construction.
Our farm plants certified weed free wheat seeds to obtain a clean foundation farm crop to plant one year out. The seed is cleaned and then treated for disease prevention. This gives our farm clean wheat and clean straw to sell for erosion control or seeding. At Murphy Farms, we apply 200 pounds of dry fertilizer in fall before we plant and seed three bushels of wheat to the acre.
While we specialize in certified straw, we also have hay available upon request. All of our hay comes from our own fields or other professional operators in Mid-Michigan, the Upper Peninsula, or Northeast Ohio. With just two balers and tractors running, we can harvest 5,000 square bales per day. In addition, our hay is never rained on, and we can have it tested for dry matter and protein upon request.
If you are looking for high-quality wood products, we can help. We have a relationship with a sawmill in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and provide on contract (volume orders only) of Shiplap, Tongue & Groove, Pine and Cedar products in custom sizes and stains. Pete Marquette has been in the woodworking business since 1988.

Always fast responses, always friendly, bends over backwards to take care of his customers, good honest people. I’m pleased with Murphy farms and plan on working with them for years to come. Thanks for everything Mike!!

Been dealing with Mike Murphy and his family farm for years...the best hay rolls for my TB I could ever want. Not only Hay for my horses, but they have done my driveway. Great job. And when I had to put a horse down Murphy farms was called . They came at the same time as the vet to make the loss of a horse easier, so my daughter didnt have to see her horse dead till the hole was dug to bury her...that meant everything to me . They are the best family farm around and do many different things from farming to driveways , to heavy machines.
