We are a Farm that focuses on raising our Animals on pasture and naturally. We provide Grass Fed Beef, Pork, Chicken/Broilers, Chicken eggs and Turkeys.
Our mission is to produce the healthiest, most affordable meat around. Our beef is 100% grass fed with no grains or antibiotics what-so-ever. Our Chickens and Pigs receive non-gmo grain and are Pasture Raised. We also are getting started with Rabbits, goats and sheep.

Just with a few acres planted by hand, just take the little plugs. Now we've got mac So my grandparents got started in the 70s. They started with a small plot in Iago, Texas, and it's just grown into a large farm today, and we have almost 5,000 acres of turf grass and we're still growing. My name is Caroline Krennic and I'm a sod and real crop farmer at Horizon Turf Grass in Wharton, Texas. Growing up I knew I wanted to do somet I went to college kind of not knowing what I wanted to do 100%. I knew I wanted to come back, but I didn't know exactly where I fit in if it was either in the production or in the office, but I really found out that I would come home every weekend and work on the farm or I'd go to the clay farm up there in your college station. I just found my home on the farm and decided I wanted to stay here. At Horizon our main t We try to create just the best looking sod we can, so all of the homeowners and customers that we service also feel the same way. My name is Hayley Gvronovic-Aulford. I work for Horizon Grass Farms as a sales manager as well as kind of our marketing director. I will wake up in the morning as soon as the customers start calling. A lot of them Our big t We're always on the phone helping our customers, making sure they get the best grass with the inventory we have. It definitely takes a team to run the sod farm. There's the production aspect, the marketing aspect, the sales aspect. It takes harvesting, it takes smowing, it takes fertilizing and proper maintenance, and it also takes mechanic skills. It takes technology skills, so it's really a no-ion team. It takes a lot of us. We're a family farm, we do a lot of that together, and we have a team be The farm changes every day really. As far as the technology, it's changed a lot. It's changed in size, it's changed in demand. We used to use hand stackers. That would be a little four-tracker and then basically a frame where four people would get on and then manually stack the grass on pallets. But now we have automatic harvesters called Fireflies. They're the big blue mac The blade cuts underneath the layer and then it'll go on a conveyor and it'll go onto a pallet and then those pallets will get transferred to trucks and those trucks will take the sod to customers. So a turtle back is basically the field we're standing on. Each turtle back or field is perfectly designed. It has a perfect slope so it has that high h So every time it rains, all the water just drains to the ditches and it drains really fast so you can get in there and harvest faster. We grow three main varieties. We go St. Augustine, Bermuda, and Zoysia. Those are the warm season grasses. My favorite would have to be Tif-Tif Bermuda just because it is very good with the Texas drought conditions, cold conditions, and it grows best at the farm that I manage in Waco. It's always pretty and green so I love selling that one. It's a lot of pride that we feel as a family continuing t All we can do right now is just work hard and just try to do our best as a family and work as a unit. Turf is a long term business. You don't put turf in and then two or three years later you plow it up and you move along. It's at least a 10 to 15 year business. When you start somet It's I guess the greatest feeling you can have. I would that's what we're doing. We're passing it on and seeing that life's been a success.
