Houlton Farms Dairy, in operation since 1938, announced Friday that it will discontinue its milk product line at the end of September 2024.
The company cited rising production costs and a decline in milk sales as the primary reasons for the decision.
According to Houlton Farms Dairy, increasing difficulty in obtaining raw milk and other necessary products has also contributed to the move.
The company stated that the rising costs of operations have made it unsustainable to continue producing milk products at an affordable price.
Houlton Farms Dairy thanked its staff and customers for their support and acknowledged the disappointment surrounding the change. The company emphasized its commitment to maintaining its remaining product lines and continuing to serve the community.
