Three generations of farmers raising delicious American Wagyu Beef for you.
Owner and Business Manager
Fred Scheel and his fiance, Heather, had a vision to offer the world farm fresh and naturally raised American Wagyu Beef, so they created Wallace City Wagyu. Both are from the heart of farming country in Western Pennsylvania. Fred has been a farmer his entire life, raising livestock and harvesting the crops from his decades-old family farm in Freedom, PA. Heather grew up in the midst of rolling farm hills just a few towns north. Fred is the proud owner of Wallace City Wagyu, where Heather serves as his right hand, managing the daily business. Together, they're committed to bringing you the freshest, most delicious American Wagyu Beef on the market.
The Scheel Family
Fred Scheel Sr. was just 16 years old when he purchased Wallace City Farms from his parents back in 1959. At 79, this proud patriarch – along with his wife, Marsha – watches his children and grandchildren tend to the family farm with loving care and a commitment to raising quality dairy and beef cattle. The Scheel family members are full time farmers, a rarity today as more and more farms cease operations due to economic hardships and dwindling profits. Fred Sr.’s lifelong joy of farming has been passed on to his son, Fred Jr. who launched Wallace City Wagyu to keep the tradition alive, and to share the freshest and highest quality farm raised beef with Western Pennsylvanians and the world.

about wallace city
Wallace City Wagyu sits near a town once called Wallace City, Pennsylvania. From 1890-1902, this area was part of an oil boom town with wells yielding up to 45,000 barrels daily. A spur line from a railroad running through Crows Run served the oil field.
During the boom, folks in Wallace City could look out on the derricks where oil was pumping at its fullest.
Today, the noisy derricks are long gone. Instead, the peace and tranquility of beautiful farmland breezes and grazing cattle are the only sounds you hear.
