NWTF offers the highest quality, fresh crop chufa, which is grown, imported and shipped by vessel from Valenica, Spain to Savannah, GA.  After clearing US Customs, the container will be sent to warehousing for distribution. 

All orders filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Quantities are limited based on the cost share funds allocated to the program, so don’t delay, order early.  Chufa orders will ship AFTER clearing US Customs, usually around early April. NWTF has no control when chufa is released. For all other seed orders allow two weeks for delivery before calling to check on your order. 

Always store seed in a cool, dry place prior to planting.  Check with your Extension Office for appropriate planting times, methods and rates in your local area. 

Available seed mixes include: 

TURKEY GOLD CHUFA - 50 POUND BOX COVERS 1 ACRE 

WILL SHIP AFTER CLEARING US CUSTOMS 

Produces small nut-like tubers that turkeys scratch out of the ground.  Once birds find the tubers in the fall, they keep coming back.  A 50-pound box of seed will cover approximately 1 acre.  Select an open area that receives full sunlight.  Sandy or loamy soils are preferred.  Prepare the seedbed by plowing and disking.  Have soil tested to determine exact amounts of lime and fertilizer to add.  If you cannot get the soil tested, use 400 pounds of 10-10-10 or 13-13-13 fertilizer and 1,000 pounds of lime per acre.  Soil pH should be between 6.4 – 7.2.  Broadcast, May through mid-July, at a rate of 40-50 pounds per acre and planted at a depth of 2 to 3 inches. 

TRIPLE MAX CLOVER - 9 POUND PACKAGE COVERS 1 ACRE 

A pre-inoculated clover mix includes two annuals (Frosty and Fixation) and one perennial (Domino) clover.  This mix will provide high quality food and cover for wild turkeys, deer and other wildlife.  This mix is adapted to most sites and will stay established for several years with proper maintenance.  Prepare the seedbed by disking or harrowing the ground.  Create a smooth seedbed.  Follow the recommendations on amounts of lime and fertilizer.  Broadcast seed over one acre.  Cover seed ¼” deep using a drag or cultipacker to insure good seed to soil contact.  Soil pH should be 6.0 to 7.0.  Normally it can be planted in early fall or early spring depending on the location.
