MAINE PUBLIC • October 1, 2021
This summer, 14 Maine organic dairy farms were informed by the parent company of Horizon Organic that their contracts will be terminated next August. Governor Janet Mills says she's working to find solutions for those affected by the move. At a meeting of Northeast organic dairy farmers at Wolfe's Neck Center in Freeport, Mills said the decision by Danone to sever ties with small Maine farms is especially upsetting because it's a B Corporation, which is a certification that it focuses on social justice and environmental issues.
