About the Northeast Organic Family Farm Partnership
In August 2021, 135 organic family dairy farms across eastern New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine were suddenly and unexpectedly notified that their contracts with Horizon Organic and Maple Hill Creamery would not be renewed after the following year.
In response to this crisis, the Northeast Organic Family Farm Partnership was formed to increase the regional demand for organic milk produced in the Northeast by family farms.
Increased demand for regionally supplied organic milk is necessary to save the at-risk farms, build market stability for the dairy industry, and create resiliency in the northeast regional food system as our family farms disappear at increased frequency.
The only long-term solution for these farmers, and all of the region’s organic family farmers, is to encourage consumers, grocers, food co-ops, restaurants, and food service venues to increase their purchases from the brands that purchase milk from the region.
The Partnership’s program has three pillars :
These are our Retail Partners.
Consumers - We circulate a pledge asking consumers to buy one-fourth of their weekly dairy purchases from the Brand Partners and patronize the Retail Partners.
The partnership is fiscally managed by the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA), a 501(c)3 organization located in Maine.
