Organic Seeds

The growth in sales of organic grass seed, arable silage and cereal seeds has been substantial of the past few years. We have also seen a large growth in fertility and soil structure crops as such as mustard, phacelia, red clover and more recently sweet clover.

Wynnstay have been selling organic cereal seeds and grass mixtures since 2000. We are fully licensed with the Organic Farmers and Growers and have representation on the working group committee that decides how to interpret European directives with regard to organic seed. Wynnstay is more than willing to put forward any comments from our customers at these meetings.

The organic seed inclusion level for organic forage mixtures for 2010 is to remain at 65 %.

Wynnstay can offer an organic alternative to our conventional Grass seed leys.

Please see below Organic leys and seed that are available.

For information and advice on organic leys please phone the seed office on 01939 210777 and speak to Adam, Richard or Colin.
