Eat Locally - Businesses Supporting Local Restaurants
The Californer/10072026

WINSTED, Minn. - Californer -- When times get hard, living in a small close-knit community can oftentimes have a huge advantage. In following in their late father Jerry Sterner's legacy for love and pride in his local community, the Stafford and Frank Sterner families, owners of SJF Material Handling Inc. in Winsted, MN, would like to begin a movement encouraging other local businesses to daily patronize local restaurants in and around their own community, in support of our neighbors and friends.

For as long as Minnesota's executive order restricting business operations is in effect due to COVID-19, SJF will be purchasing lunches from different local restaurants in Winsted, Minnesota, for all SJF employees working on-site. Frank and Stafford's hope is that other businesses will follow suit and come together in their own communities to boost sales to local restaurants and businesses.
