Utah’s largest & oldest sod farmAbout Us

Our story A legacy of innovation & hard work

BioGrass® Sod Farms, Inc. was founded in 1979 by T.H. Bell, a dedicated local educator and former U.S. Secretary of Education. With four sons approaching college and LDS service missions, Bell sought a family business that could support these expenses while teaching his sons the value of hard work. Inspired by a friend’s sod farm and his own farming upbringing in Lava Hot Springs, Idaho, Bell leased portions of a 100-acre farm in Eagle Mountain, Utah, to start BioGrass.

Soon after, Bell was appointed U.S. Secretary of Education by President Ronald Reagan, leaving the new business in the capable hands of his wife, Betty, and their sons—Mark, Glenn, Warren, and Peter.

45 years of growthFrom humble beginnings to industry leader

Over 45 years later, BioGrass® has grown into Utah’s largest and oldest sod farm, recognized for its expertise in creating seed mixtures that produce lush, sustainable, and durable sod. With our farm in Bluffdale and headquarters/retail store in West Jordan, BioGrass® has expanded its offerings to include compost, mulch, decorative rock, fertilizer, proprietary seed blends, and more.
