About Us

Paradise Hill Ranch and Western Wear is a locally owned family business located in mid-west Saskatchewan.  It was originally called 'Paradise Hill Farm Supply', founded by Dave Crittall in 1974.  The business started in the town of Paradise Hill; in 1983, it re-located to it's current location - right along Highway 3.  It was the first business to move out of town; shortly after, a few more followed.  Brad and Corrie Van Metre became the new owners in September 2015, renaming it 'Paradise Hill Ranch and Western Wear'.

Thank-you everyone for your support!! I’m Corrie Van Metre.  My husband Brad and I became proud owners of the “Paradise Hill Farm Supply” on September 16, 2015.  It then became the “Paradise Hill Ranch & Western Wear”.   I was born and raised in this area - The Farm Supply has been apart of our community for a very long time.  Brad was born in Livelong and grew up near Hillmond - not too far away. Brad and I really wanted to continue on with the success of this small town, community business and make it even greater!! We want to continue to supply high quality, top of the line products to our local community at a reasonable price.  We have expanded the business with our “Trade-Show Trailer” and getting Paradise Hill Ranch & Western Wear ONLINE!!  We VALUE each and everyone of our customers and we strive to make your experience with us easy and enjoyable!!  

Over the past few years we have really found a new groove with “Family & Business”.  Brad and the girls love to rodeo.  The girls bring a certain zest, exuberance and style to the business.  Bailey is 20 this year, she has just started up her own horse training business this past summer.  Denver is 17, she's the "Competitive" one.  Her motto is "If your not first, your last".  Dakota is 14 and she's our social butterfly.  Often we can find her chatting up the farmers and ranchers at the coffee pot..... with her dad hahahaha.  We are so proud of them, they have already achieved a lot in Barrel Racing and Roping….. going through the ups and downs of life….. they never let anything keep them down for long.  The girls are also very involved in 4-H.  Last year they went into the Beef project, the year before that they were in the light horse project and this year we are running a 4U rodeo club.  Oh yeah, I almost forgot, we also own and operate “The Longhorn Arena”.  Brad and I built an 80x200 Indoor Riding Arena in 2012.  Its fully insulated and finished!! We love to host Roping, Jackpots, 4-H, Clinics…… and everything in-between!!   

Community is high on our list of values, we want to offer value back to our community through the things we enjoy and have fun with!!

INTRODUCING OUR STAFF

We are so grateful for the people we have in our business!!

Each and everyone of them is unique and they all bring different knowledge and experience to this business.  

We are excited that they will also get to share that with you!

Thank-you to all of them!!

I’m Edwin Volk and I am in charge of Animal Health, Cattle show supplies & Hardware at the store.  I have been working here for over 10 years, since October 2008.  What I like most about it is that I am always up to date and in the loop with new technology, information and products regarding the cattle industry.  At home I run a 70 head commercial herd of cattle.  I winter them out and during the summer months, I setup a rotational grazing system.  In my spare time I enjoy socializing, local events, dances, concerts and sports…… hockey in particular.

Hey! I’m Bailey Van Metre, the oldest daughter of Brad and Corrie. I have been working here at the store, since my family took over in 2015.  You will mostly see me at the front counter, helping out customers.  I love seeing all of the new faces, familiar faces and friendly faces that come that walk through the door.  Whether they want a visit or need help, I am here! I am also in charge of ordering tack, clothing, roping supplies, and footwear.  My favorite part about ordering is seeing what’s new! My guilty pleasure is buying new things for myself and equine partners.  When I am not at the store, I am out on the rodeo grounds, rodeoing in Alberta and Saskatchewan.  I am competing in Barrel Racing, Breakaway Roping, and Team Roping.  My boyfriend Sam Cornet and I have a very strong rodeo ethic and we love to do it, it’s even better together!  Sam and I moved out to Perch Lake in October 2023 and we are loving it.  We have an arena and corrals for our horses.  My side gig (besides working at the store) is training horses.  I really enjoy it and have had great success for my clients with their horses!  If you need anything custom ordered for you or your equine athlete please let me know, I will certainly help you ! 

Hello! I am Audrey Cornet.  I am the newest team member at Paradise Hill Ranch & Western Wear.  My husband Tyler, our son Ben and I moved to the area from Fiske, SK in April 2023.  We really love being here!  I will greet you as soon as you walk through the door and help you find whatever it is you are looking for.  If you have any questions about anything don't be afraid to ask me.  If I don't know the answer I will get you one right away! I enjoy learning about new products in our store and helping customers.  Oh! and don't forget to ask me about our loyalty program for Dog & Cat food!  When I am not working, I am probably out playing rodeo wife / mom OR at home enjoying my hobbies which include baking, being at the lake and hanging out with friends & family.  I look forward to meeting you and helping you out!

Hi, My name is Katherine Oster, I have been working at Paradise Hill Ranch & Western Wear since the Fall of 2016. I am in charge of our website, online marketing and promotions. My job is to make sure everyone knows about the wide range of products we offer. What I really love about working here is the sense of “home” and “family” at the store. When I started I didn’t know many of the other employees that well and they have made me feel so welcome!! The willingness they have to work together and help everyone out is really awesome!! They treat their customers that way too - It’s a great pleasure to work here.

My wife, Marilyn and I live on a farm near Turtleford.  We raise Bees and harvest the honey.  Pam D Honey is our Business.  I have been involved with Bees since I was 12 or 13.  I took a little break from Bees and we raised "Weaner pigs" for 17 Years.  

We just got back into the bees again about 6 years ago. My motto is "When I'm no longer having fun I won't be here anymore."  Coming to work at the store puts a smile on my face! 

Hey Everyone!!
