Organic 4010 Peas Raw (lb)

Organic 4010 forage peas are an improved field pea variety prized for their leafier growth and higher yields compared to standard field peas. This hardy, cool-season legume is an excellent choice for gardeners, market growers, and small farmers looking to improve soil health, add nitrogen naturally, and produce valuable green manure biomass. Its vigorous growth habit also helps suppress weeds and protect soil from erosion.

Thriving in cool conditions, 4010 peas can be planted in early spring or late summer for fall growth. When incorporated into the soil, they release nutrients that benefit subsequent crops, making them a valuable component in sustainable crop rotations. Deep roots enhance soil structure and water infiltration, while dense top growth shades out weed competition. For livestock, 4010 peas provide a protein-rich forage option, whether grazed, ensiled, or fed as part of a mixed ration.

Certified organic, these peas meet strict standards for sustainable agriculture, ensuring they are free from synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Whether used in home gardens, market plots, or pastures, they are a dependable tool for building fertile, resilient soils and supporting healthy plant growth.
