Our Story

Rooted in heritage.

Sandhill Turf Farms was founded in 1986 in the Sandhills of North Carolina.

Nearly four decades later, we continue to grow—combining experience, quality turf, modern farming practices, and a focus on what comes next.

Growing for the future.

Agriculture was part of the family long before Sandhill Turf Farms. Earlier generations grew peaches, tobacco, and row crops in the Candor area, where farming has long been part of the community.

In 1986, that agricultural background took a new direction with the start of Sandhill Turf Farms.
