About J. Drake Turf Farm
Route 169 climbs past sugar maples and fieldstone on its way through Canterbury, and off it somewhere sits a farm gate with pallets of turf stacked and waiting in the April sun. J. Drake Turf Farm raises grass the way other farms raise hay — seeded, tended, kept free of weeds, then cut and rolled and moved out fresh within hours of harvesting. Homeowners and contractors pull in and load at the Canterbury pick-up, or the turf rides a truck into Rhode Island, Massachusetts and eastern Connecticut and arrives still cool. Roll-out service is there for anyone who would rather watch the lawn appear than lay it themselves, and the maintenance schedule and technical help travel with the order. In early spring, when everything else is still brown and waiting, these are the greenest fields in town.
