#Keep It Real
Natural grass is a pivotal part of our environment and personal health. As farmers, we understand how crucial real turf is to our planet and those who live on it. Learn more below and become an advocate for natural grass
Safety
Natural grass provides a soft-landing pad when playing outside. Natural grass produces fewer lower body injuries and concussions than synthetic turf.
Health
Natural grass helps human health beyond the physical. Looking to improve your sleep, reduce pain, and minimize stress? Try walking barefoot on fresh grass.
Resource Quality
Natural grass converts carbon dioxide into fresh oxygen; providing clean air for us to breathe. It also filters groundwater through its roots.
Environmental Benefits
Natural grass helps to delay runoff, reduce erosion, cools urban heat, and provides a thriving ecosystem to thousands of crawling critters.

Telemetry System
Reservoir
Water Tiles
Bethel Farms spans over thousands of acres which require inputs to thrive. Our telemetry system is a way to measure the needs of our fields, so we conserve natural resources and lessen our footprint.
Our reservoir increases our water supply for irrigation and provides flood control. We are able to adjust our watering amount at any time based on the field’s need.
We save on water through our irrigation systems. Our system allows us to flow the water underground, which saves tremendous amounts of water waste. An open irrigation system wastes 30%-40% more water than our underground water tile system.
