We are a collection and processing centre for farms in the area. Growers bring in raw seed; we clean it, grade it and return it ready for sowing.
The figures you need
Anyone buying forage seed checks five lines before looking at anything else. Here they are, for our standard alfalfa lot.
| Parameter | Guaranteed | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Specific purity | ≥ 98.0% | on lot analysis |
| Germination | ≥ 80% | hard seed excluded |
| Hard seed | ≤ 20% | normal in legumes |
| Dodder (Cuscuta) | absent | the parameter that decides an alfalfa deal |
| Moisture | ≤ 12% | on delivery |
Every shipment travels with the lot analysis certificate. ISTA-accredited laboratory analysis available on request.

Why the seed comes from here
Italy is Europe's leading alfalfa producer, and the Marche region is one of the historic areas for seed multiplication. That is not local pride: it is why seed grown here adapts well to dry Mediterranean and continental climates, from North Africa to Central Asia.
We are a small family business in a hill town in the province of Ancona. We do not have an international sales network — we have the product and the willingness to answer. This site exists to close that distance.
Write to us in your own language
We answer in Italian and the system translates: you don't need to speak our language, and we don't need to speak yours. Three lines are enough to start.
