History

 

Born out of Circle 6 Farm and Ranch—a 5th-generation cattle ranch in Duette, Florida, and our home—this story is deeply personal to us.

It all began during the presidential race of 2024, when a politician made the bold statement: “Get rid of everything and only use tallow.” That single comment sparked a curiosity that led me down a path of research into the benefits and nutritional value of grass-fed beef tallow—not just as food, but in everyday life.

What I discovered was fascinating. For generations, beef tallow had been used as a natural moisturizer, a cooking staple, and even a remedy for skin conditions like eczema. The more I learned, the more intrigued I became.

Soon after, my wife and I began rendering fat from our own steers processed through Circle 6 Farm and Ranch. One of the first things we noticed was its incredible moisturizing ability. She loved how it made her hands feel—especially compared to plant-based lotions she had used in the past, which often left her skin irritated and red. Tallow, on the other hand, nourished her skin without any of those negative effects.

That moment shifted everything.

We began to dive deeper into the science and benefits of beef tallow as a non-comedogenic, natural skincare solution. What started as curiosity quickly turned into a passion and eventually, a purpose.

That journey led to the creation of Circle 6 Tallow: a company rooted in tradition, committed to continuous learning, and dedicated to producing the highest quality tallow-based products possible.

Our promise is simple: to provide a wide range of premium beef tallow products, to keep innovating with new and exciting formulations, and to never compromise on the quality that Circle 6 stands for.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us—discovering a more natural way forward.
