Keep Local Farms
A Northeast Farm Fund.
Overview
New England state agriculture leaders joined forces with dairy promotion organizations to launch the Keep Local Farms program. Inspired by the “Fair Trade” concept, Keep Local Farms will help get more money directly to dairy farmers while creating stronger connections between farmers and their customers. The program is an effort to ensure dairy farmers in the Northeast are paid a sustainable price for their milk and to provide consumers with a way to support local dairy farmers, their community and the local economy.
