Vice Chair
Ben, along with his wife Lisa, their three children, and his parents, operate a small mixed farm near Lanigan, Saskatchewan. They grow a full suite of vegetables in their market garden and raise pigs, chickens, and cattle.
Before returning to the family farm, Ben studied theology and politics, worked for Winnipeg food banks, and volunteered with refugee resettlement. This led to an interest in sustainable and regenerative agriculture as well as equitable food distribution.
Ben’s first interaction with Farmland Legacies was through a Heifer International-sponsored livestock program in 2011. Soon after, he became a board member.
