Old Cobblers Farm™ Wicked Tuff Turf Champagne Meadow Bromegrass

Premium cool-season perennial forage seed with fast establishment, excellent drought tolerance, and high nutritional value. Ideal for pastures, hay, and sustainable grazing systems.

Champagne Meadow Bromegrass is a premium forage grass seed trusted by farmers, ranchers, and land managers for its adaptability, resilience, and exceptional forage quality. As a cool-season perennial, it delivers a dense, lush stand that thrives in USDA Zones 3–7 and performs especially well in regions with cold winters and moderate summers.

With its deep root system, Champagne Meadow Bromegrass offers superior drought tolerance, erosion control, and long-term stand persistence. It germinates quickly (7–21 days under optimal conditions), establishes a strong sod, and recovers rapidly after cutting or grazing thanks to its prolific tillering and rhizomatous growth habit.

Farmers value Champagne Meadow Bromegrass for its high protein content, palatability, and regrowth potential, making it a cornerstone of rotational grazing and hay production systems. Whether you’re seeking to improve pasture yield, enhance animal nutrition, or establish a resilient forage base, this grass seed is an excellent choice for sustainable agriculture.
