Just 40 kilometers west of Ranfurly is Mundare. Mundare is primarily an agricultural community that is rebuilding itself. There are a lot of renovations and new construction going on in Mundare.
I am not sure why one town is doing so poorly but the other is doing so well. Mundare's claim to fame is that it is the home of Alberta's largest Ukrainian sausage producer. Stawnichy's sausage is exported all across Canada and the US.
