Choosing the Right Orchard and Vineyard Mix

Selecting the right orchard pasture blend starts with understanding what you want your groundcover to achieve. Soil type, canopy density, and management goals all influence which species will perform best beneath your vines or trees. Some mixes are designed to boost organic matter and soil biology, while others focus on improving structure, reducing compaction, or supporting pollinators that benefit fruit set and vine health.

Our team understands the practical balance between soil health, orchard hygiene, and ease of management. We can help you choose a mix that suits your region, irrigation setup, and long-term sustainability goals.
