Colby is proud to reside on the home quarter he was born and raised in which is situated close to the Tawatinaw valley. After graduating high school he entered the oilfield sector in northern Alberta while on days off helping on his mom and dad’s 3rd generation farm. After enough time away from the farm he returned in his mid 20s to start growing and transitioning the families operation.
Today he and his family run a cattle/grain operation which includes 380 cow/calf pair, 1200 ac grain land and 1500 ac of hay/pasture. He is very greatful for his wife Laurie who has substantially grown their direct-to-consumer beef and pork business serving the Edmonton area. He and his partners have also recently opened a 20,000 ton/year organic composting facility at the Westlock Regional Landfill to provide a service for the local and provincial residents. Colby’s goal is to transition his farm to regenerative agriculture while working with industry and researchers to show other farmers/industry that it is a profitable better way to operate while growing and supporting our local circular bio economy.
