Backed by Watkins Sawmills (Canada), Gold Circle is a wood-derived agricultural vinegar concentrate refined from a wood-process stream and packaged with clear dilution guidance for routine farm, garden, compost, and property workflows.

About Us
Get to know Gold Cirlce
Gold Circle is the consumer brand for wood-derived agricultural vinegar by Watkins Sawmills (Canada) built to make a traditional category easier to understand, easier to use, and easier to trust.
Our goal is simple: provide a practical, routine-use product with clear guidance for growers, gardeners, and land managers who want consistency without hype.
What makes this story different is where it comes from.
Watkins Sawmills was established in 1947, when Bill Watkins built his own lumber mill on the Harrison River in British Columbia. Over the decades, the company grew from its roots in logging into a major manufacturer serving building and roofing markets across North America, while remaining family-owned and deeply connected to the communities and working landscapes around it.
That long history matters. Watkins has spent generations working with wood not just as a raw material, but as part of a broader renewable resource economy tied to forests, manufacturing, and community livelihoods.
Gold Circle extends that same practical mindset into a new category.
By refining value from a wood-process stream, Gold Circle represents a circular-utilization approach: creating an additional useful product from the same resource system with an emphasis on consistency, straightforward guidance, and everyday usability.
We created Gold Circle for people who want a product they can actually work with from backyard gardeners and small farms to orchards, vineyards, and larger land-management operations. Whether it’s used in garden routines, compost workflows, orchard programs, or general property maintenance, Gold Circle is designed to fit into real-world routines with simple dilution guidance and repeatable use.
At its core, Gold Circle is about practical stewardship: using materials wisely, communicating clearly, and making useful tools available to the people doing the work on the ground.
We built Gold Circle for people working at every scale: backyard gardeners, small farms, orchards, vineyards, and land managers. Whether you’re running seasonal routines, maintaining compost workflows, or supporting day-to-day property upkeep, Gold Circle is designed to fit into existing programs without adding complexity. It’s a practical tool built around repeatable routines and easy-to-follow dilution ranges.
This is what “circular value” means to us: using wood resources wisely and creating additional usefulness from a process stream through refinement and consistency. Gold Circle isn’t about hype or sweeping promises it’s about clear guidance, dependable product expectations, and a brand people can understand quickly. The goal is simple: make a traditional tool easier to use for the people doing the work on the ground.
About Gold Cirlce
We believe good land stewardship should be practical. Gold Circle is a wood-derived agricultural vinegar concentrate from Watkins Sawmills (Canada), created to support diluted, routine-use workflows across farms, gardens, compost systems, and general property maintenance. The goal is simple: provide a consistent product with clear ratios and guidance that helps people apply it the same way every time.
Watkins’ long relationship with wood processing provides the foundation for how we approach this category: refinement, consistency, and usability. Gold Circle is positioned for general-use agricultural routines where the details matter dilution ranges, application context, and straightforward instructions that reduce guesswork and make planning easier across the season.
We focus on routine adoption over bold claims. That means giving people a tool that fits into existing programs, supports repeatable workflows, and stays easy to understand whether you’re managing a small garden or coordinating maintenance across larger acreage.
Gold Circle is built around a simple idea: guidance is part of the product. Clear terminology, practical examples, and consistent ratios make it easier for growers and land managers to use wood-derived vinegar responsibly and consistently and easier for partners to sell and support without confusion.
That vision guides every decision we make:
- Soil Health First – Products that build microbial life, improve water retention, and lock carbon into the ground.
- Closed Loops – Turning local sawmill waste into biochar and wood vinegar that cycle nutrients back into gardens and farms.
- Access for All Growers – From backyard gardeners to family farms, tools that are safe, affordable, and easy to use.
Our land has given to us for generations — food from the fields, timber from the forests, fish from the rivers, game from the hills. It has fed families, built towns, and sustained a nation. Now it’s our turn to give something back.
With Gold Cirlce, every grower can take part in that stewardship: working with the land, not against it, taking cues from nature itself. Forest fires taught us vinegar. Forest floors taught us biochar. Together, they point the way toward soils that endure soils that provide today and stay fertile for the generations to come.
