Traditional Wisdom. Local Stewardship. Regenerative Growth.
We are a family-owned Wagyu producer headquartered in Dexter, Michigan, dedicated to crafting exceptional Japanese black Wagyu. Our program brings together the precision of Japanese style husbandry with thoughtful land stewardship and premium genetics.
All cattle in our program are raised under a unified nutrition and management plan designed with one of the foremost Wagyu nutrition specialists. Through attentive low stress handling, thoughtful grazing practices, and a meticulously balanced feeding program, we cultivate Wagyu that reflects our deep dedication to the craft.
The Hermitage Difference
We Control the Process. The Beef Speaks for Itself.
Small-batch, traceable genetics
Every animal comes from a known pedigree, selected for exceptional marbling and consistency. We raise only cattle whose genetic potential meets our standard for premium Wagyu.
A proprietary ration crafted for Wagyu excellence
Our feed is formulated by one of the foremost Wagyu nutritionists, using clean, locally sourced ingredients and the same principles used in top Japanese programs.
Slow-finished with intention
We refuse to rush the process. Our cattle mature naturally over extended finishing cycles, allowing their marbling to fully express and their flavor to deepen.

Why Wagyu Stands Apart
Unmatched Flavor and Marbling
Wagyu is known for its fine, delicate marbling that melts at low temperatures, creating a tender, buttery texture and a rich, unforgettable flavor you can’t get from conventional beef. Our cattle takes 2-3 times longer to finish than conventional cattle, expressing Wagyu’s full marbling potential.
Naturally Better Fat Profile
Wagyu beef is naturally richer in monounsaturated fats, the same heart supportive fats found in foods like olive oil and avocados. Its unique fat profile contains higher levels of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, giving it a cleaner, lighter eating experience compared to conventional beef.
