The Chaff Chaps deliver premium, low-dust chaff in recyclable poly bags.

In 2019, we became the first in the world to package all our chaff in paper bags, stepping away from the commonly used woven poly bags. In 2025, we've made the move back to poly, this time using recyclable bags and joining the Agrecovery Scheme to ensure responsible disposal and environmental care.

Our Signature
Chaff Range

The Chaff Chaps was born from the need to cut wheat straw for Broadfield Mushrooms, Chris and Adele’s oyster mushroom business. In 2014, they purchased a “state of the art” 100+ year old Andrews & Beaven chaff cutter. This led to a few over the fence chats with our neighbour Rob, and soon The Chaff Chaps was born.
