Pasture Herbs
Pasture herbs are no longer considered optional; they’re now a core component of well-structured New Zealand forage systems. From deep root systems that tap into moisture and minerals, to nutrient-rich leaves that improve animal intake and recovery, the right herb species can add serious value to your pasture plan. Our range is selected to meet practical farming goals. Whether you’re looking to improve summer resilience, lift forage quality, or create a more balanced mix, these herbs deliver results both above and below ground.Â
Our Pasture Herb Seed
We offer a focused range of forage herb seed that performs under real-world conditions. Hercules Plantain stands out for its high tiller density and ability to mine moisture and nutrients from deep in the profile. It keeps producing through cooler months and holds up well under grazing pressure, making it a dependable option in mixed systems.
Herbivore Chicory is another standout, with quick establishment, strong regrowth, and exceptional feed value. Complementary species like Sheep's Burnett and Yarrow add persistence, drought tolerance, and trace element diversity to the mix, which is especially valuable when conditions turn dry or pastures are under pressure.Â
Whether sown on their own or as part of a multi-species blend, our herbs are backed by clear sowing rates and establishment guidance. That means fewer surprises and a better return on seed investment.
Choosing the Right Pasture Herbs
Pasture herbs deliver the most value when matched to the right farming context. In systems focused on summer feed supply, intensive rotational grazing, or finishing livestock on high-quality forage, they bring strength and stability that traditional species often can’t match. Their ability to tolerate heat, access deeper soil moisture, and maintain growth under pressure gives them a clear role where production needs to continue beyond the comfort zone of ryegrass.
If you're building a mix that needs to go further (literally and nutritionally), we can help you identify which herb species make sense for your farm and how to integrate them effectively from the start.
