Name discovery
The Name BlueGrass
The name BlueGrass was born for our business in 1997 because of our involvement with Blue Gum trees,
Johns attachment to Lucerne as a special crop, which has a blue tinge as the crop matures, and the world renown grass known as ‘blue grass’ in the state of Kentucky for its high-quality horse feed.
We believed one or all of these connections would create a significant image for our company.
