NAKAGAWA RANCHES

Nakagawa Ranches is a small-scale, family-owned ranching operation specializing in the production of American Wagyu cattle and direct meat sales located in California... Established in 1941, the Nakagawa family ranch in Acampo is the true product of the American Dream. An immigrant from Hiroshima, Japan, Yokichi Nakagawa first arrived to San Francisco in 1904 and was quickly lured to the vast, fertile agricultural fields of the Central Valley. However, land policies set in place at the time prevented Asian immigrants from owning land in the United States and thus Yokichi's dream endured for the next 37 years. During this time, Yokichi became a prominent figure in the Japanese-American community, most notably for his passionate contribution in establishing the Buddhist Church of Lodi and his leadership role among other aspiring Japanese immigrant farmers.
