MOFGA was awarded an Organic Market Development Grant to work in partnership with the Northeast Organic Family Farm Partnership, to promote organic dairy and increase consumer demand for products made with milk produced in the Northeast.
“We’re excited that the USDA has awarded this organic marketing grant that will benefit Maine and the entire Northeast region. Maine dairy farms have struggled over the last few years with contract cancellations, the pandemic, rising costs of production, and catastrophic damage from recent winter storms,” said Sarah Alexander, Executive Director of MOFGA. “We know that people in the Northeast want to support our local farms, and this grant will allow us to create more opportunities for local organic dairy farms to get their products to local consumers.”
