- Medicinal Herb & More - Also known as lucerne, Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is an easy-to-grow flowering perennial that has exceptionally high nutritional value and has been used for centuries in traditional herbalism. As a medicinal herb, alfalfa seeds and leaves can be dried or it can be grown as alfalfa sprouts or microgreens for its bioactive compounds that support health and fight inflammation.
- Resilient & Useful – Alfalfa is one of the most versatile crops a homesteader can add to their garden and is highly adaptable to cool weather and difficult growing conditions. It can be used as a beneficial medicinal herb, sprouting microgreen, grazing fodder, silage, green manure, and nitrogen-building cover crop. In the United States, alfalfa is one of the most widely grown crops, especially valuable for hay, silage, and as a forage plant because it is so high in vitamins, minerals, and nutrients.

What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?
Our seeds will generally last for 3-10 years if they are appropriately stored in a cool, dry place. However, we encourage you to grow your survival seeds within a year or two of purchase. This yields the best germination rates possible and also gives you more experience growing survival food now. At the end of the growing season, follow the instructions on the back of each packet for saving seeds for future gardens. These new seeds for survival will be more adapted to thrive in the growing conditions where you are.
