| Green Bay's Turf grown in New Jersey No football field conjures images like Green Bay's frozen tundra known as Lambeau Field.

Tuckahoe Turf Farms supplies the sod for the field, and ships its Kentucky bluegrass in refrigerated trucks to the Browns, Philadelphia Phillies and Washington Nationals.

Green Bay has been using Tuckahoe grass for more than six years. WTOL-TV Toledo, OH: Green Bay's famous turf grown in New Jersey |
