Maine's Own Organic Milk Company

 

Maine’s Own Organic Milk Company, L3C, or MOOMilkCo, is a low-profit, partly farmer-owned, L3C corporation set up to help Maine organic family dairy farms maintain a market and achieve profitability. It was established with 10 organic dairy farms that were dropped by H.P. Hood, a large dairy product distributor^.
The company allocates 90% of profits back to the farms as payment for their milk, and "the remaining 10% will be retained for the business end of the company, which is a joint effort of the Maine Farm Bureau and the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association." Today MOOMilk is marketed in quality food stores and to institutional buyers in Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut.
