Riverside Farm was founded in the early 1900s by John Ludwig Hula, an immigrant from Czechoslovakia. For nearly 100 years, John, his son Adolph and his sons Frank and Mickey raised beef cattle and grain on their 2,000-acre farm just minutes from Virginia’s capital city, Richmond.

In 2000, fourth-generation Wells Hula enrolled in Virginia Tech’s Turf Management Program. He learned the latest techniques and best management practices for growing Turfgrass from some of the industry’s most knowledgeable leaders. Wells decided to integrate his newfound passion and understanding of turfgrass production into the family farm.

Today, Wells and the rest of the Hula family are supported by a team of professionals who strive to provide the finest turfgrass to every customer. Riverside Turf has earned the reputation of a reliable supplier of the finest turf grass throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. While the farm has adjusted to changing economic and environmental conditions since 1927, The Hula’s dedication to producing the highest quality product in an environmentally responsible manner is a family tradition that continues to this day.
