OK, I contacted the landscape contractor who bought a dozen trees from me about 8 years ago and he says he's had great success establishing and maintaining his orchard in something called the "No Mow Mix" from Prairie Nursery.  If you want to know the species they use you can contact them on line and probably purchase some seed as well.  Remembering previous experience with them the seeds are probably pretty pricey- but than so is mowing.
