The Beef Farmers of Ontario (BFO) said in a release the partnership has a significant impact on the Ontario cattle and beef sector.
“First off, it demonstrates the confidence the market has in high quality Ontario beef.

Secondly, the partnership contributes to Ontario’s economic development and supports local rural communities across the province,” the BFO said.
“The partnership with Ontario Beef is an important one,” Lyndon O’Hearn, director Purchasing-Culinary & Beverage Development for Lone Star said in the release. “As an Ontario company, we wanted to connect with Ontario beef farmers to bring high quality locally produced Ontario beef to our menu. The consistent great taste of Ontario Corn Fed Beef aligns well with our commitment to quality.”
Jim Clark, executive director of the Ontario Corn Fed Beef Program and CEO of the Ontario Beef Market Development program said “We wanted to partner with an Ontario-based restaurant chain who value the commitment our members make in producing consistently great tasting beef.”
