OUR PROMISE
As a family-owned and operated company, Châtel Farms was built on a belief in sustainability, traceability and animal welfare.
The Best Care for Our Cattle
We handle every aspect of production, from the birthing and raising of calves up until the finishing of cattle. Our commitment to outstanding animal welfare ensures that our livestock are humanely treated and that the products you receive are of the highest quality and free from any growth-promoting drugs and supplemental hormones.
Committed to Quality
Châtel Farms is dedicated to providing pasture-raised, grain fed, natural* beef throughout the year. We take the time to choose genetically pure Angus and Wagyu cattle and provide them with a healthy diet consisting of lush grass pasture,
natural forages, and a custom blend of locally sourced grains. All our cattle are DNA sampled and carry electronic identification (EID) tags so we can maintain detailed individual animal health records and provide 100% transparency in all our farm practices.
RAISED RESPONSIBLY
At Châtel Farms, we raise truly exceptional cattle. Our cattle are raised on a 100% vegetarian diet of natural forage, sileage and corn sourced from our farm and surrounding local farmers.
We are proud to have a zero-tolerance policy on all growth-promoting drugs and supplemental hormones as well as a strict case-by-case procedure on responsibly administering antibiotics to animals whose lives are at risk.
Raising cattle in this manner allows them to grow at a natural pace which results in more flavorful, tender beef with exceptional intramuscular marbling. So, whether you choose from our Angus or Wagyu offerings, you’ll experience a complexity of flavors and tenderness worth remembering.
We are Stewards of the Land
We are committed to raising our livestock in an environmentally responsible way. As stewards of the land, we are dedicated to return to nature what was taken from nature. We grow much of our feed for our herd on our Central Georgia farm, the same farm where the cattle are raised. Having the feed on the same farm significantly reduces our carbon footprint and affords us the ability to compost manure as a fertilizer source. By-products generated during the harvest process are captured and returned to the farm and used again as a fertilizer source, thus removing them from local landfills and eliminating the need for chemically sourced fertilizers. We truly believe that the cattle and the crops we produce are the future of our company and a bright future is only possible if we properly respect and care for the land we own.
OUR HISTORY
Châtel Farms was founded some 20 years ago by legendary beef expert, Francois Leger. Francois always dreamt of owning and operating his own ranch in Georgia and raising genetically-certified Angus and Wagyu cattle. His no-nonsense approach to sustainability, animal welfare and attention to detail in every aspect of the cattle raising process is what makes Châtel Farms Angus and Wagyu beef a cut above the rest.
Pasture to Plate Perfection
Châtel Farms is the epitome of pasture-to-plate perfection. Most of our farm employees have been a part of our operation since the beginning. Together, they properly raise and care for our cattle in the most ethical and sustainable manner imaginable.
