Evergreen Colony blends time-honored Hutterite traditions with modern craftsmanship and agriculture, creating a peaceful, self-sustaining way of life on the prairie. Daily rhythms revolve around the colony’s fields, gardens, and workshops, while convenient access to nearby hubs like Ipswich, Aberdeen, and Faulkton keeps essentials, services, and social events within easy reach. Residents often share homegrown produce and handcrafted goods at regional markets, and the area’s quiet roads and big skies reward sunrise risers and stargazers alike.
Families appreciate the emphasis on education and skills. Colony schoolhouses coordinate with the South Dakota Department of Education for curriculum and support, helping students progress confidently in core subjects and trades; learn more through the department’s official resources at the South Dakota Department of Education. Older learners can tap into continuing education and dual-credit opportunities through Northern State University in Aberdeen, which offers a range of programs and community enrichment at Northern State University.
Outdoor time is a way of life here. Weekends often mean casting a line or launching a kayak at the state-managed Richmond Lake Recreation Area and Mina Lake Recreation Area, both with trails, beaches, and year-round activities. For healthcare and specialty care, Avera St. Luke’s Hospital provides comprehensive services close by at Avera St. Luke’s Hospital.
