They've been in production for less than six months, and distribution should grow along with their business. I understand they're in negotiation to be distributed through Shaws. M.O.O. Milk has posted on their website that Hannaford's, where it is available, has just dropped the price by 30 cents a half gallon to $3.99. Pricewise, this makes it competitive with national out-of-state brands — Hannaford's is actually taking a profit reduction in support of M.O.O. Milk!</p> <p>Meg:<br /> M.O.O. Milk comes in whole, 2%, 1%, and skim, all by the half-gallon. Not all stores carry the full line. For the moment, their butter and cream is only available in bulk through Crown O'Maine. If you don't see it at your local store, ask for it through Hannaford's customer service. Hope that helps!</p> Pat:

I just checked their website and now realize MOO Milk is sold at the Hannaford's I usually shop at (at least it says it does, but I swear I've never seen it there!). Just wondering - do you know if MOO only comes in whole milk? Thanks! Thanks for the info.

Literally, out of our way. Which in some cases means spending more money on gasoline and other grocery products. Not to mention time. We can encourage our friends and neighbors to drink this excellent milk but in doing so we are asking them to spend more of their time and money also. I support the Crown of Maine Farmers but times are tough for everyone and I just think this needs to be said.
