Ontario Sod

Greenhorizons Group of Farms has evolved from over 200 years of farming by the Schiedel family in Ontario.The ancestors of Greenhorizons' founder Richard Schiedel purchased large tracts of land along the banks of the Speed and Grand Rivers more than two centuries ago where they successfully farmed in both dairy and grain crops into the 1980's. In 1975 the Schiedels began transitioning to Kentucky bluegrass sod production in Cambridge. That farm was named Compact Sod, the first production facility of what has now become The Greenhorizons Group of Farms.
