Blue Sky Colony  

Blue Sky Colony

Blue Sky Colony is a Hutterite farming community located near Drumheller, Alberta, and is part of the broader tradition of communal agricultural settlements found across the Canadian prairies. Hutterite colonies like Blue Sky are self-contained, cooperative communities where residents live and work together, sharing resources, labour, and the rewards of their collective efforts.
As a traditional Hutterite colony, Blue Sky operates as both a residential community and a working farm. Its members live in a communal setting, with shared facilities and collaborative management of daily life. Central to the colony’s identity is agricultural production, which plays a key role in sustaining the community economically and culturally.

The colony’s farming activities typically include livestock and crop production, contributing locally raised beef, poultry, and turkey products. These products are often processed and prepared using on-site expertise, including skilled meat fabrication and welding services, which support both internal needs and sales to surrounding markets.
