Old Cobblers Farm™ Winter Rye + Chicory Seed Mix (5 lbs | 10 lbs | 15 lbs | 20 l

Old Cobblers Farm™ Wicked Winter Rye + Chicory Mix is a premium 60/40 blend engineered for cool-season performance, soil restoration, and dependable wildlife forage. Combining fast-germinating Winter Rye with deep-rooted Chicory, this mix delivers rapid ground cover, improved soil structure, and nutrient-rich forage that performs across a wide range of climates and soil types.

Winter Rye establishes quickly—often within 3–7 days—providing early erosion control, weed suppression, and moisture retention. Chicory complements this with a powerful taproot system that breaks up compacted soils, scavenges nutrients from deeper layers, and delivers drought tolerance once established. Together, they create a balanced system ideal for regenerative farming, no-till gardens, pasture improvement, and wildlife food plots.

Designed for USDA Zones 3–8, this blend thrives in full sun to light shade and performs reliably in cold, transitional, and northern climates. Whether planted for deer attraction, pollinator support, or long-term soil health, Old Cobblers Farm™ Wicked delivers consistent, season-long results with minimal input.
