Circle H Farm Competes in National Environmental Stewardship Competition

Congratulations to Circle H Farms (the Hyatt Family) from Rainy River who were named Ontario's 2024 TESA recipients earlier this year in February. The Hyatt's were also the Ontario nominee for the National TESA that was awarded in Saskatoon in mid-August. Though the big prize went to a great farm in Nova Scotia this year, we are proud of the fantastic environmental stewardship work being done on Circle H Farms. The Hyatts represented Ontario well in the competition and we applaud them as a great example of what it means to be stewards of the land, while raising cattle and producing high-quality, delicious Ontario beef for people to enjoy.
