Clover Valley Farmers' Market
Clover Valley Farmers' Market saw an upswing in sales and customers in 2012, and this trend appears likely to continue in 2013. The growing interest in local food bodes well for our Farmers' Market. As a result, we need more vendors!
The Farmers' Market offers:
- A great value on Advertising: The Market uses a variety of advertising to promote its vendors' products: radio, newspaper, billboard, black mobile sign and sandwich boards. Our presence on our website, Facebook and Twitter continues to expand. Best of all, if you are a vendor in front of hundreds of people every week at the Market, you create the most effective advertising of all...word of mouth! You get to interact directly with customers to promote and sell products.
- The Market Store continues to expand and attract market patrons, so we offer competitively priced at 25%.
- A comfortable, convenient venue: You are safely out of the hot sun or rain with tavles set up ready to fill with products.
Seasonal Registration Deadline is April 12th:
- Book a space for the full May through October season! Vendors can save $144 by paying the seasonal fee.
- Book a single Saturday. By booking in advance you ensure advertising coverage.

New Large Animal Vet for the Rainy River District
Hillcrest Animal Clinic
Dr. Bobby Egli, Owner
'I would like to introduce a new veterinarian to our practice - Dr. Jon Fistler.
As you might know, I have been providing large animal veterinary service to the Rainy River District for the past two years. This has been a challenge, especially in the provision of emergency service due to the distances involved. I have had the opportunity to hire Dr. Jon Fistler who will now be residing in the Rainy River district and can provide the continuity of service that this area has lacked for so many years.
Dr. Jon comes to the area with a great deal of large animal experience. He is qualified to practice all types of veterinary medicine; however, large animal is his passion. Jon’s father was a mixed practice veterinarian with his clinic attached to the house, so Jon grew up with an interest in animals of all kinds.
He graduated in 1990 from the University Of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine and has been practicing in Wisconsin and Minnesota for the past 21 years. He practiced equine medicine in Cloquet, making calls into Duluth, Superior, as well as Virginia and Hibbing. He practiced mixed animal medicine in International Falls, with clinics in Warroad and Baudette.
Jon has extensive experience in equine medicine, including health checks, gelding, lameness exams and emergency care. He is proficient in bovine medicine and surgery, having worked 12 years for large exclusively dairy practices in Wisconsin and Minnesota, in addition to working with large beef herds. Over the years, he has also enjoyed working with elk, red deer, buffalo, sheep, goats, pigs and exotics. He is available to answer any questions you may have.
Jon has moved here from Minnesota. He has two grown daughters who live in Duluth and a son in the Air Force in Washington, D.C. When he is not caring for animals, he enjoys fishing, hunting, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and woodworking.
Dr. Fistler is excited about his move to Canada as a resident, and his membership in the College of Veterinarians of Ontario. I am extremely happy that Jon wants to make the Rainy River District his home and continue his professional career with us.'
Dr. Jon will be available for all your animal health care needs as follows:
Monday to Friday: 8 am to 5 pm
Saturday: 8 am to Noon
24 Hour Emergency Service Veterinarian on Call
For appointments call:
Dr. Jon Fistler: 807-276-2685 or
Hillcrest Animal Clinic toll free at 1-800-465-7223

Rainy River Meats Inc.

| Peggy Revell Photo Fort Frances Times |
(Excerpt from the Fort Frances Times)
Rainy River Meats Inc. co-owner Marg Irvine showed where the sirloin tip had been removed from the hindquarter of local ‘AA’ beef, which the business has been processing since its start-up last month in Emo. It’s been a busy first month for the plant as its owners look to promote meat raised by local farmers and get it onto the plates of people across the district.
Triplet Calves born in Rainy River District
By Peggy Revell, Staff writer (Fort Frances Times)
A rare triplet birth has turned this year’s calving season into one for the local history books.
“It was a surprise,” said Wayne Flatt, whose farm just north of Emo welcomed healthy triplet Charolais calves to the world back on May 9.
“I’ve been farming for some 44 years,” he remarked. “First time that I’ve had a set a triplets.
“I’ve had lots of twins, but not triplets.”
