SPREADING KINDNESS TO OUR PLANET

It’s the Maine Way

At Oakhurst, it’s about more than milk. It’s about creating a happy, healthy tomorrow for our children and future generations. And that depends on what we do today. That’s why it’s the responsibility of us all to keep our footprints on this planet as small as possible. Being kind to the planet? It’s the Maine way.
