Red Clover

Certified Organic Red Clover – The Meadow’s Crimson Crown

European Folk Wisdom Meets Driftless Flora Excellence
Discover red clover’s distinctive trifoliate blossoms, whose deep magenta flowers have crowned meadows and sustained both livestock and herbalists for millennia. Hand-harvested from certified organic fields of Keewaydin Farms in Wisconsin’s Driftless Region, our Driftless Flora red clover perpetuates ancient European traditions while thriving in pristine Midwest pastures.

Meadow Aristocracy and Sacred Symbolism
Red clover (Trifolium pratense), revered as “bee bread” for its importance to pollinators, belongs to the Fabaceae family. The genus name derives from Latin “tres” (three) and “folium” (leaf), reflecting its characteristic trifoliate architecture. Medieval Europeans incorporated it into potions for invisibility and clairvoyance, while it has been cultivated for thousands of years across temperate climates from Arctic meadows to central Asian plains.

Artisanal Blossom Collection
Our red clover undergoes meticulous hand-harvesting during peak anthesis when the globular flower heads display their most vibrant crimson hues. Collection occurs during late morning hours when isoflavone concentrations achieve optimal density, followed by traditional desiccation methods preserving both chromatic intensity and phytochemical integrity.

Alterative Excellence in European Herbalism
The flowers contain substantial concentrations of isoflavones, particularly genistein and daidzein, alongside flavonoids conferring their characteristic mildly sweet, hay-like flavor profile.
