Life and Work on a Hutterite Colony

Hutterites live communally and farm together, and each colony is run as one large agricultural business in which members share the work and the harvest. A colony like Hnidy Farms typically grows a mix of crops and keeps its operation diversified, so that the whole community is supported by several kinds of production at once. Because everything is owned and managed together, colonies tend to invest steadily in land, equipment and buildings, and a new colony such as this one spends its early years building up the farmyard, housing and production facilities that a community of families needs.

What the Colony Farms

Central Saskatchewan's black-soil region around Wakaw is well suited to crops such as wheat, canola, barley and oats, and its long summer days are good for market garden vegetables.
