Forage

At Chesapeake Valley Seed, we provide a diverse selection of forage seed choices carefully formulated and recommended for today’s busy farmer.

Our forage seeds have been professionally selected for the Mid-Atlantic region and are intended for high yields and low management, increasing our customers' profitability while ensuring reliable foraging crop. Our region-specific pasture formulations and mixes feature durable seed varieties intended to supply the nutrition your livestock needs while holding up to today’s intensive grazing methods year after year.

  • Homestead Pasture is a general-purpose mixture for non-irrigated, dryland pasture. It provides the potential for first-cut hay and season-long productive pastures. Homestead Pasture Mixture is safe for horses, is highly palatable, and quick to establish. A combination of Orchardgrass, Endophyte Free Tall Fescue, Timothy, and Alfalfa makes this a perfect all-around pasture mixture for the Mid-Atlantic Region.

  • We can create any custom mix using our forage and cover crop ingredients. Everything can be customized, even the bag sizes (25, 50, 1,000 or 2,000# bags). Just give us a call to put together your customized forage or cover crop mixture.
