With so much going on at Green Life Turf, we put together a presentation that tells our story. Turns out, we have so much history the challenge was keeping it short enough to tell the story and keep you watching! Challenge accepted! And here it is, Green Life Turf's life in less than 3 minutes!

Watch here...

 

The Story:

Green Line Turf - Muscat Brothers Growing Vegetable CropsMichael Muscat's father, Joe, came to Australia in the 1950s from Malta at the age of 16. A few years later, Joe purchased his first farm at Kellyville in NSW and began his own market garden.

The years following saw Joe's younger brothers join Joe, and they farmed together, expanding their production and moving to bigger farms in the Hawkesbury region of NSW. This was the beginning of a now second-generation farming family.

Michael and his two other brothers worked the farm with their father in the 1980s.

 

The Start of Turf Growing Turf farming operations began after Michael and his brothers set out looking for a more sustainable farming crop, and in the early 1990s, turf production began while the boys continued to grow vegetable crops.

Very quickly, the Muscat's grew more and more turf, and eventually ceased growing vegetables in favour of their turf crops. And so began Green Line Turf.

Michael continued searching, building and engineering new innovative ways to do things better on the turf farm for highest quality and best efficiency.

This way of thinking rose Green Line Turf as a highly respected name in the turf growing and supply industry. They prided themselves on not being the biggest, but having the highest quality product and service.

 

Green Life Turf Next Generation Turf Farmers!As Michael's and his brothers' sons grew, they took a keen interest in the farm, so the men began planning out the company's future. They created separate companies that allowed each of their sons to grow their passion and be a part of their own family business.

Michael and Alexandria's three sons, Patrick, Justin and Joshua, also work in the Green Life Turf business, continuing on with the family passion and pride of what they do.

 

Now, with 200 acres of turf production across the Hawkesbury region, and together with their seven full-time staff, we pride ourselves on being a highly respected, award-winning Australian, family-owned business that offers the highest in service and quality.
