Bob Appleman founded Arkansas Valley Seed in Rocky Ford, Colorado. He named the company after the beautiful Arkansas River Valley in Southeast Colorado. Under his leadership, our Rabbit Ears® logo, named for Rabbit Ears Pass near Steamboat Springs, Colorado, came to symbolize quality and value.
Today Arkansas Valley Seed, with its seed partner, have one location and a strong distribution network throughout the West. We provide very prompt mixing far beyond the boundaries of Rabbit Ears Pass to the north and the Arkansas Valley to the south.
Arkansas Valley Seed is able to dedicate one mixer solely to the blending of sod quality Kentucky bluegrass to prevent contamination of other species. Two additional pasture & native mixers are committed to the production of both custom mixtures as well as stock mixes. As a result, we can get your mixes to you faster than anyone else without sacrificing quality. Arkansas Valley Seed can also handle your private label seed needs with our precision small bag packaging line. To provide these elite services, we are well-staffed to maximize efficiency. At every level, we are doing what it takes to make the customer's experience more rewarding.
The applications of seed are nearly as diverse as the available varieties. For this reason, Arkansas Valley Seed maintains a diverse inventory and detailed knowledge of the requirements of the various demands on performance.
Arkansas Valley Seed is a major supplier to governmental agencies for reclamation of the ravages of forest fires and for range management. The landscape and reclamation business also includes highway construction, mines, pipelines, other major projects and smaller residential jobs.
