Our Legacy of Growth
Founded in 1981 by Tom Creech in Lexington, Kentucky, Charles T. Creech Inc. began with a simple mission: to deliver premium hay and straw to local horse farms with reliability and care. Over the years, our commitment to service and quality laid the foundation for growth—first expanding to multiple hay-producing regions across North America, and then going global with exports to Europe and the Middle East. In response to evolving industry needs, we launched Creech Services, Inc. in 1987 to repurpose used horse bedding for mushroom compost. With the addition of a 20-acre compost facility and new warehouse space, we’ve continued to scale without compromising the values we were built on: quality, trust, and customer-first service.
Expanding with Purpose
As demand grew, Creech Inc. expanded its sourcing network to include the best hay-growing regions across North America. This proactive approach ensured premium supply even during regional harvest challenges, solidifying our role as the area’s most reliable hay provider.
Entering the Global Market
In 1986, Creech Inc. began exporting hay internationally, starting with a shipment to a Thoroughbred farm in England. By 1990, our exports had expanded to the United Arab Emirates, and today, we are the leading supplier of premium horse hay to the Middle East.
Launching Creech Services , Inc.
Recognizing a need in the equine industry, Creech Services, Inc. was founded in 1987 to repurpose used horse bedding into compost for mushroom farms. Our commitment to quality earned us the Select Supplier Award from Campbell’s Soup Company in 1991.
Investing in Infrastructure
In 2001, we built a 20-acre composting facility to support our mushroom and landscaping clients. A second warehouse followed in 2012, boosting storage and streamlining operations—ensuring we serve customers with greater speed and efficiency.
