Our colonies are among the most productive and efficient agricultural systems in North America. Spanning Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, British Columbia and six US states, our colonies collectively farm roughly 6 million acres of land and operate some of the most advanced agricultural facilities on the continent.

Beyond farming, our colonies are among the largest manufacturing communities in Western Canada — producing everything from steel buildings, custom furniture and cabinetry, to precision metal fabrication, feed mills, food processing facilities and construction materials. Colony-owned businesses supply industries across Canada and the United States.

Every colony operates as a fully integrated enterprise — farming, manufacturing, processing and distribution all under one roof, owned and operated by the community.

Manufacturing

More Than Farming — A Manufacturing Powerhouse

What many Canadians don't realize is that our colonies are not just farms — we are fully integrated manufacturing communities. Our colony shops produce steel buildings, hog barns, dairy facilities, custom cabinetry and kitchen furniture, precision metal fabrication, roll-formed steel, concrete products, leather goods, clothing and textiles, electronic components, and much more.

Our colony-owned businesses generate an estimated hundreds of millions of dollars in manufacturing output each year — second only to farming in the colony economy.

The Hutter Platform

One Contact. The Hutterite Network.

The Hutter Group of Companies has been developing TheHutter.com portal since 2018 through The Hutter Platform — building a dedicated procurement and commodity aggregation online office that creates a single point of contact for small to large-volume buyers, suppliers and government agencies dealing with Hutterite colonies across North America.

Before TheHutter.com, buyers looking to source large volumes of grain, livestock, eggs or specialty products had to contact dozens of individual colonies separately — negotiating different prices, terms and logistics with each one. A process that was slow, fragmented and inaccessible to most buyers.

Today, a verified buyer can register, see supply aggregated from our colonies and sign one contract through TheHutter.com. Desk matching, single-invoice settlement and coordinated logistics are in development. For suppliers, one relationship reaches the purchasing managers of our colonies on the platform — one listing instead of hundreds of phone calls.

“To be relevant you need to integrate — to be recognized you need to stand out.”

One contact. The Hutterite network.
