Miami Colony Farming Co. Ltd. is a Hutterite colony located near New Dayton in southern Alberta, in the farming country of the Municipal District of Taber and County of Warner area. The colony's welcome sign proudly reads "Est. 1924", and the community has been farming in this part of the province for a century. Miami Colony belongs to the Lehrerleut branch of the Hutterian Brethren and is a daughter colony of Milford Colony.

Like other Hutterite colonies, Miami Colony is a community in which members live and work together and share in the operation of a large, diversified farm. The business is run as a mixed-farming enterprise, with livestock and crop production balanced to make good use of the land, labour and facilities the colony has built over the decades.

What the Colony Produces

• Dairy – milk production from the colony's dairy operation
• Chicken layers and eggs – laying hens and egg production, graded and packed for market
• Grain – cereal and other grain crops grown on the colony's cropland
• Mixed farming – a combination of livestock and crop enterprises
• Agricultural services – farm work and operations carried out by colony members

Life and Work at the Colony

Hutterite colonies are known for combining traditional community life with modern agriculture. Colony farms often invest in up-to-date barns, machinery and equipment while keeping family and community values at the centre of daily life. Work is organized among members, with different people responsible for areas such as the dairy barn, the egg and poultry barns, the field crops and the shop. This approach allows a colony to run several enterprises at once and to respond quickly during busy times of year such as seeding and harvest.

Southern Alberta Farming Country

New Dayton lies in the dry-belt prairie of southern Alberta between Lethbridge, Taber and Milk River. The region's long growing season, irrigation in some areas and good grain-handling infrastructure make it well suited for grain, forage and livestock production. Miami Colony is one of many colonies in the area that contribute to the agricultural economy and to the supply of food products at local and regional markets.
