Botanical name: Medicago sativa L.

Alfalfa is primarily grown in our farms for animal feed along with Vetiver and other grasses.
Late summer can be an excellent time to establish alfalfa and can result in excellent and productive stands by next spring.
It is also used for high cholesterol, asthma, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, upset stomach, and a bleeding disorder called thrombocytopenic purpura. People also take alfalfa as a source of vitamins A, C, E, and K4; and minerals calcium, potassium, phosphorous, and iron.
