Breton’s economy is rooted in agriculture, supported by oilfield activity and logging, and strengthened by a community of hardworking entrepreneurs. From grain and cattle farms to innovative market gardens and specialized operations, Breton is proud of its diverse economic base.

​

Our Economy:
Breton has long maintained a stable economy, with steady growth shaping the future of the village. Agriculture remains the cornerstone — including grains, cattle, horses, elk, wild pig, ostrich farms, and market gardens — while energy and forestry play key roles in local employment and investment.

​

Global Reach:
Despite being a small village, Breton has proven itself globally connected. A 2014 Brazeau County Business Visitation Initiative reported that 1 in 12 Breton businesses exports to markets in the United States, Mexico, and South America. This proportion is higher than surrounding regions, highlighting Breton’s strong export orientation and business potential.​​
