The High River Colony
Welcome to the story of High River Hutterite Colony, a community deeply rooted in tradition yet continually evolving to meet the needs of the modern world.
Founded in 1981 in the serene landscapes of Alberta, Canada, our colony embarked on a journey to establish a place where our values of faith, hard work, and community could flourish. For over four decades, we have dedicated ourselves to building not just physical structures but also nurturing relationships within our community and with our neighbors.
From the very beginning, we understood the importance of self-sufficiency and sustainable living. Our members, skilled in various trades, came together to construct homes, barns, and other essential infrastructure, forging a bond that would withstand the test of time. Through our commitment to craftsmanship and collaboration, we built a thriving community where everyone plays a vital role in its success.
As the years passed, our colony prospered, and with growth came new challenges and opportunities. Last year, we found ourselves at a crossroads as our small woodshop could no longer keep up with the demands of our expanding community and the broader market. But true to our spirit of innovation and determination, our passionate construction members saw this as an opportunity to embark on a new venture.
With unwavering dedication and a vision for the future, we embarked on the ambitious project of building a state-of-the-art, 25,000 square foot woodshop. It was a testament to our commitment to excellence and our belief in the power of hard work and collaboration. From sourcing the finest materials to employing the latest technology, every step of the process was infused with the same values that have guided us since our inception.
Today, as we stand in our new woodshop, we are filled with pride at how far we have come. It is more than just a building; it is a symbol of our resilience, our determination, and our unwavering commitment to serving our community and beyond. With expanded capabilities and a renewed sense of purpose, we are poised to take on new challenges and seize opportunities for growth.
But amidst all the changes, one thing remains constant: our dedication to building not just structures but also relationships with our customers, our suppliers, and our community. We invite you to join us on this journey as we continue to build, create, and grow together. Welcome to High River Hutterite Colony, where tradition meets innovation, and community is at the heart of everything we do.
