MOOMilk Cows! from Laura Chase on Vimeo.
Cows LOVE to go to a new pasture! |
Welcome to Chase's Organic Dairy Farm! We are a
family owned and operated organic dairy farm located on the Creasey
Ridge Road in Mapleton, Maine. We
have about 100 cows in our herd, mostly Holsteins with many Red &
White Holsteins and a few Jerseys mixed in. We milk 60-70 cows on
average.
Our farm
was started by Lewis Frazier Chase in 1935 and has been carried on by
his two sons, first Donald and then Vaughn. The entire family is
involved in caring for the land and the cattle.
We are one of
ten
family farms in Maine who banded together to form
Maine's Own Organic
Milk Company, L3C, LLC (also known as
MOOMilk)
after after being dropped by H.P. Hood.  We worked
with the
Maine Farm
Bureau and the
Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association to organize and
form this new company to market our milk directly to grocery stores.
MOOMilk is currently available in many Hannaford and other grocery stores in Maine.
We are also available at Whole Foods in Portland, ME.
We are very excited that MOOMilk is now available in Whole Foods
and other stores in the Boston, MA, Providence, RI and Hartford, CT
areas!

We are proud to be providing fresh, local organic milk to our
fellow Mainers and New Englanders. With their support, we
hope to continue being able to produce fresh, local and great-tasting, 100% Maine organic milk.
Each purchase of MOOMilk helps support family farms and helps
preserve working farmland in Maine, as 90% of MOOMilk profits go back
to the farmers.
Chase's Organic Dairy is proud to help tell the story of MOOMilk
in a documentary from Pull-Start Pictures called
Betting the Farm.
