About S&W Seed Company


S&W is a leader in breeding and developing proprietary alfalfa seed varieties that grow in warm climates and which can thrive on poor, saline (salty) soils.

As farm land and resources become scarcer worldwide, S&W's claims to salt tolerance and high yields give us a competitive advantage, and our product leadership is verified by years of university-sponsored tests and trials. Our 40 acre alfalfa seed cleaning and processing facility in Five Points, California is owned and operated by S&W.

Our management team includes the former head of the UC Davis Alfalfa Testing and Development Program, W. Robert Sheesley. Our focus is to capitalize on the physical assets and product strengths of S&W.

S&W Seed Company Mission

Our goal is to be the major supplier of non-dormant proprietary alfalfa varieties in the world.
