Circle S Farms
How two high school students have made their lives based around a small family farm.
Lily Steed comes from a long line of farmers and educators. Her family owns Circle S Farms, an 8th generation family farm that was founded in 1839 and is located in LaGuardo, TN. Circle S specializes in hog production and agritourism including weddings, berry picking, field trips and a Christmas tree farm. At seven years old, Steed began to take on a large responsibility of the farm, including feeding the hogs, helping with planting, and other ins and outs on the farm. As a high school senior she now helps with processing hogs, organizing weddings, and even has her own deer processing business with her boyfriend John Ross Bryan. Steed now is pursuing the Miss Tennessee Crown and is advocating for agricultural literacy, in hopes that more people will have an understanding and appreciation for the importance of agriculture.
