The Braden Theater will be showing Betting the Farm on Wednesday and Thursday (Oct. 10 and 11) at 7 pm.


Just featured at the Camden International Film Festival, the acclaimed film Betting the Farm will be shown at the Braden Theater this Wed & Thursday, Oct 10-11 at 7:00 pm. It features 3 families, including Vaughn & Laura Chase of Mapleton, owners of Chases Organic Dairy. At Wednesday's screening, a Q & A session with Filmmaker and the local farmers will follow.

In February 2009, H.P. Hood, one of the largest dairy companies in America, announces that it will not renew the contracts of eight organic dairy farmers in rural Maine. With no other dairy companies willing to send a milk truck to northern or eastern Maine, the farmers are left with two choices: quit farming altogether or find a new way to do business. (quoted from Wood Prairie Farm)

Farmers Vaughn Chase, Richard Lary, and Aaron Bell--along with the other farmers dropped by Hood--band together to launch a new, entirely local milk company, Maine's Own Organic Milk Co., or MOO Milk. (quoted from Wood Prairie Farm)
