Our bespoke service draws on:

Decades of practical experience
In-house agronomy expertise

Access to high quality seed from a wide range of specialist species and cultivars

We work with a diverse range of clients, from farmers and estate managers to conservation advisors and contractors, to deliver seed solutions that are:

Agronomically sound
Species-appropriate for soil type and rotation
Scheme-compliant (e.g. AB9, GS4, AHL1, IPM2, etc.)
Biodiversity-enhancing and cost-effective

For Countryside Stewardship Higher Tier - whether for arable options such as CAB17 (Winter bird food on arable and horticulture land) or grassland options such as CGS20 (Manage wet grassland for breeding wader), our mixes ensure compliance whilst maximising ecological and agronomic value.

Whether you’re restoring species-rich grassland or meadow, looking for a multi-functional cover crop, designing game cover for wild grey partridge or meeting specific Higher Tier prescriptions, we can source and blend the exact species required.
