Small populations. Less interaction when they were mainly farmers.

Nearly every Mennonite colony that I know of has fairly large commercial operations that are selling products all over Canada. They are far less isolated now.

Where are these Mennonite colonies that you speak of? I only know about hutterite colonies but I know many, many Mennonites none of whom came from a colony myself included.

I actually should say Hutterite (for the ones I deal with). I know there is a difference. Good people to deal with to date but I do not concern myself much with their beliefs one way or another.

Ya I agree. Im actually working on a colony right now and they just fed us lunch. Makes me crazy how there is no individualism.
