Governor Janet Mills issued the following statement today on Danone North America’s “four part Northeast organic dairy transition plan.” The new plan comes in response to pressure from Governor Mills and officials who urged the company to provide financial support and other resources to organic dairy farms hurt by its sudden August 2021 decision not to renew milk contracts.
After Danone, the owner of Horizon Organic, notified 14 Maine organic dairy farms that the global brand intends not to renew contracts for milk with them and other farms across New England, Governor Janet Mills and Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry Commissioner Amanda Beal released a statement pledging to assist the 14 Maine farms.
