Cariboo Region

Australian Ranch, a family business for four generations, is a 300 grass fed beef cow operation. The Yorston family has expanded the business to also include the production of their beef dog food, dog treats and perennial flowers which are sold at the Quesnel Farmers’ Market. This is coupled with a host of agri-tourism activities, in particular, the Australian Ranch’s corn maze and farm experience events which are local favourites and a tourist draw.

Throughout its history, the Yorston family has been passionate about promoting agriculture. Over the years this farming business has evolved to both ensure the continuity of this farming legacy, as well as incorporate other emerging interests and passions.

By diversifying resources beyond its core business, Australian Ranch reaps the benefits of reducing business risk by meeting of customer needs while expanding its business base.
