Historique

Fondé en 1975.

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.

Today, along with Compact Sod, Greenhorizons has expanded to include Hamilton Sod in Mount Hope, Niagara Sod in St. Catharines, Halton Sod in Milton, and Ontario Sod in Oakville. Richard’s two sons, Ron and Steve, oversee Greenhorizons operations as president and vice-​president, respectively. Ron oversees Compact Sod in Cambridge and Steve heads up Hamilton Sod & Willow Valley Golf Course.
