Keep Maine Strong with Oakhurst

At Oakhurst Dairy, we believe in the power of local businesses to fuel the Maine economy and preserve the well being of Maine people.

We are a Maine, family-owned business with a heritage of “keeping Maine strong” for three generations. Since the company’s founding in 1921, the Bennett family has maintained an unwavering commitment to the highest quality products, the health of kids and the environment, and the sustainability of Maine agriculture.

Our dedication to “The Natural Goodness of Maine” led us to become the first major dairy to put its Farmers’ Pledge on every label: No Artificial Growth Hormone Used.

Local Business, Local Impact
Today, we employ 230 local people, work closely with 80 Maine dairy farms, and contribute substantially to community organizations throughout Maine and Northern New England.

• Economic impact. Oakhurst contributes to Maine’s economy both directly and indirectly as the impact flows downstream. According to the 2009 Oakhurst Maine Economic Impact Study, the combined total economic impact is:
  • Annual sales for Maine businesses of over $220 million
  • Over 500 jobs, paying approximately $28 million per year in wages and benefits
  • Annual payment of nearly $5 million in state and local taxes



• Environmental stewardship. Oakhurst has significantly reduced its carbon footprint through investments in solar, biodiesel and hybrid technologies, and continues to set a high standard for sustainable practices in the region.
• Community commitment. Every year, Oakhurst contributes 10% of profits to local organizations that promote the health of kids and the environment. Giving back to the communities and families we serve is a tradition at Oakhurst.
