About Us
Chago's Pecans
by Santiago Properties Ag Pecans
Our orchard business was started by and named after the late & great Santiago "Chago" R. Gonzalez
Santiago was a Mexican-American pecan farmer with over 40 years in the industry and an infinite amount of respect for his craft. He worked for Stahmann Farms, once known as the largest pecan farm in the world, before buying and tending to his very own property. Outside of being an exceptional father and friend, the majority of his life was spent learning everything there was to know about producing the very best pecans in the world. His legacy lives on at Santiago Properties Ag Pecans and San Miguel Estate Vineyards (just down the road), now run by his son, Orlando V. Gonzalez M.D.
Pillar of Nutrition
The LIFE*MOD Philosophy
The Gonzalez family is a huge advocate of following a healthy life balance based on the LIFE*MOD® Philosophy, which prioritizes four important pillars of a healthy body and mind: Nutrition, Movement, Fitness, and Health.
​
In prioritizing the Pillar of Nutrition, it's important to remember that pecans are a good source of protein, fiber and healthy fats. They also contain antioxidants and phytochemicals that can help protect you from heart disease and cancer. So next time you're planning a healthy snack or meal, remember that pecans are an excellent choice for maintaining good health throughout your life!
