Tristan Banwell

Tristan manages Spray Creek Ranch, a regenerative, organic, diversified farm in the Northern St’at’imc Territory near Lillooet, BC. Together with his wife Aubyn and their team, he rotates cattle, sheep, pigs, and poultry across irrigated pastures and rugged rangelands along the mighty Fraser River in a resilient agroecological system.

He operates a Farmgate Plus poultry abattoir and is developing Maverick Meats, an on-farm Provincially Inspected abattoir, to shorten his supply chain and support other producers in building their own direct marketing enterprises.

Tristan is a founding member and president of the Small-Scale Meat Producers Association, and a grazing mentor with both the Canadian Forage and Grasslands Association and the Farmers for Climate Solutions Mentorship Programs.
