Ben Campbell started Grazed Right in 2013 with a goal of bringing people back to the land and to the ranch to see firsthand where your food comes from. Being a short 30 minute drive from the Calgary city limits, he invites all to come and see how cattle are raised, handled and how they live. Ben is both a third generation farmer and a first generation farmer. Being disconnected from the family farm growing up Ben started from scratch learning about agriculture and has quickly grown in knowledge, winning Alberta's 2022 Outstanding Young Farmer Award. His ranch is rooted in sustainable and ecological agriculture, sitting in the convergence of four main ecological zones in Alberta. His passion is to work with animals on the land, reconnecting with nature and sharing that experience with others. Along with his wife and three sons, Henry, Charles and William, Ben and Steph are redefining the agriculture industry through environmental sustainability and maintaining the idea that cattle serve the needs of the grass and the soil.
