TAGASASTE SEED: Grow your own high protein livestock fodder

Also known as lucerne tree or boomlusern, Tagasaste is a hardy, woody perennial with the same nutritional value as Alfalfa, without the side effect that causes bloating in livestock. It is indigenous to the Canary Islands where it is cultivated and forms a part of the natural vegetation for livestock and wildlife to feed on. Tagasaste has been utilised commercially as a fodder crop in Australia since the early 1980’s and was introduced into South Africa around the same time. Tagasaste is fast becoming a popular fodder supplement or alternative for livestock worldwide, where conventional methods are no longer sustainable. Damara Farm has the largest and oldest Tagasaste seed orchard in South Africa. We sell Tagasaste seed straight from the farm. Have a look at our website damarafarm.com for prices.
