The MOO Milk brand may not be dead after all.
The Maine Farm Bureau said Wednesday that it has authorized use of a special nonprofit emergency fund to help 12 organic dairy farms that had been producing milk for Maine’s Own Organic Milk, known as MOO Milk, following the company’s decision last week to cease operations.
An undetermined amount of money from the Maine Farm Bureau Disaster Relief Fund will be used to assist the farmers and facilitate talks with potential buyers for their organic milk, Farm Bureau Executive Secretary Jon Olson said. The bureau is accepting donations by mail for the relief fund.
Olson said the amount of funds going to help the farmers will be made up entirely of money donated for that specific cause. How much money will be available or how it will be used will be determined by how much is raised, he said.
