Follow highway 16 east from Saskatoon to Floral Road, turn right and you will notice a sign which states Agar’s Corner: since 1906. That sign will let you know that the Agar Family have occupied the farm at that corner for over 100 years. But today it also lets you know that you have arrived at Agar’s Corner: Country House Dining and Catering.

Don and Carmen Agar live on the grounds, and their son Chas is the 5th generation to grow up on the yard. The Mail Order House, built in 1916, now houses a special occasion catering facility. The house is reservation only, for groups with a minimum of 12 to a maximum of 30. When groups book, the entire facility is theirs for the evening. People can enjoy fresh home cooked food, the cheerful reception and the special atmosphere of a character home from the teens. Except for kitchen additions, the house is much as it was in 1916, complete with appointments such as the oak telephone hanging on the wall. The house was built by Don’s great-grandparents. Charles and Francis Agar, and was also occupied by Don’s grandparents, Charles and Mae Agar.

For the past 20 years, the house has been the focal point of the business started by Don’s Parents, Jim and Peggy Agar. In order to meet the growing demand for a facility which could handle larger groups up to 200, a separate building was built on the yard.
