By Joan Janzen

Olorenshaw Farm Services Ltd. has closed its doors after serving the community of Eston for 54 years. The business has been a valued part of Eston’s business community, providing reliable service and building strong relationships over the years. Cliff and Margaret Olorenshaw are now making plans for the next chapter of their lives.

“We have been in business for 54 years and enjoyed it immensely, but decided the time was right to shut down,” Margaret explained. “The business has not been sold, but our inventory has been sold to Emerge Ag Solutions Inc.”

The Olorenshaws have faithfully served their customers at 200 3rd Street NW since 1972. Their customers came from all the surrounding communities and beyond. Cliff and Margaret considered them not only customers, but friends.

Over the years, Cliff and Margaret have not only served people through their business, but have also been active in their community. They have been part of the Board of Trade, school, library and rec board, curling club, church board and Project for Disabled Persons.

Although they will be stepping away from their business, they plan to continue to be active in their community.

“We plan to keep involved in our community, look after Andrea, and Andrea’s 3R’s Shop,” Margaret said.

The community of Eston wishes them all the best in their next chapter and thanks them for their many contributions.
