For sustained social change, invest in community. With your dollars, with your time, with your empathy, with your capacity to learn & change.

There is work to be done, hard conversations to be had, so many educational resources to dig into.
Like many others right now, we are newly and urgently called to action not just individually but as a business. Our personal and collective ignorance and silence has cost too many lives.
Black lives matter, and we won’t be silent about their right to life and justice at this moment, or ever again.
It may feel like what is happening in urban areas is not happening in rural places with majority white populations. But look around, see who is missing from rural demographics, and sit with why that is.
White people historically (since colonization, since enslavement of black people) have had access to wealth, land, privilege and all the opportunities that come with access to resources and power. It takes a lot of resources to live rurally. Access to those resources for black people has been systematically blocked by white people for centuries.
We believe that racial justice, access to food, access to housing, access to health care, and mental health care, anti racism education, and progressive police reform is crucial to all people’s well being, and for every community to thrive.
We’ll be doing a week long fundraiser.
Here’s the deal:

If you live in Maine, a donation of $25 or more to one of the organizations listed below, or to your local food bank, will get you a free quart of yogurt or half gallon of raw milk from our farm store. Please email or message us a screenshot of your donation.
Email us at mainemilkhouse@gmail.com

If you are not local to the farm, or don’t want milk or yogurt, make a donation of $25 or more to one of the organizations listed below, or to your local food bank, and we will donate an additional $5 to the organization you chose to give to. Please email or message us a screenshot of your donation.

We’ll make our donations at the end of the week on 6/8 and let you know much money was raised.

Peace and justice for black and NBPOC is peace and justice for all of us. Invest in black and NBPOC lives, invest in community, exercise empathy for your neighbors and fellow citizens. Please think about what you can do to help people before policing them yourself or calling the police.

Remember: donating to one of these organizations or businesses is just one of many actions you can partake in. Call your representatives, demand tangible action from small and large business you buy from, support black & NBPOC owned businesses, have the hard conversations with friends and family. Listening and educating yourself is crucial!

We can do this work, we must.
