Local farm part of Organic Valley expansion

CORINTH—Already struggling to stay viable in competitive markets, some 130 small organic farm owners, 80 of which are in New England, were shocked last August when they learned their buyers, Horizon Organic and Maple Hill Creamery, would end their contracts to buy milk effective August 2022.
Horizon Organic, owned by Danone, the multinational corporation based in Paris, said it would end its contracts with some organic family farms because of “growing transportation and operational challenges in the dairy industry, particularly in the Northeast.”
