A Century of Farming Heritage
JAC Wagyu’s journey began with Tom Lewis, a WWI veteran who was granted a soldier’s block allocation in the fertile Gwydir Valley. Over the decades, the family embraced hard work and innovation to transform the farm into a thriving enterprise. In 2002, Jason and Ann Lewis took the helm, launching JAC Wagyu with a vision to specialise in premium Wagyu genetics and beef production. Today, the farm spans over 2,500 hectares, combining cutting-edge techniques with the values of a proud farming legacy.

Guided by a deep respect for the environment and a commitment to ethical farming, the Lewis family has combined generational knowledge with innovative techniques to elevate Wagyu production in Australia. Their dedication to family values, sustainability, and quality shines through in every aspect of their operations. Now led by Jason and Ann Lewis, this fourth-generation family business continues to honour its rich heritage while building a legacy for future generations.
