History

Circle 6 Farm & Ranch stands as a testament to family commitment and sustainable agriculture. Established by Leonard and Arlene Horak in the 1980s and inspired by Leonard’s father-in-law, the operation began modestly in Central Florida. The farm's name, "Circle 6," symbolizes the unity and bond within the Horak family, including their four children. Leonard’s journey from telecommunications to full-time ranching in 2012 signaled a renewed focus on providing high-quality, natural meats.
