A group of Maine dairy farmers are dropped by their milk company and confronted with the real possibility of losing their farms. The farmers launch their own milk company, Maine’s Own Organic Milk. The farmers and their families struggle to make ends meet as they get the company off the ground. Faced with slow sales and mounting bills, can the farmers hang together long enough for the gamble to pay off? Or will they be left worse off than before?
