Tide Mill is a nine generation family farm raising organic meats, vegetables, milk, and balsam products with tradition, integrity and values. www.tidemillorganicfarm.com Images were provided by Cecily Pingree, Pull-Start Pictures. www.pull-start.com.

MOOMilk is a Low Profit Limited Liability Company, or L3C, with a bottom line http://www.moomilkco.com.

From a CNN article: "Instead of building equity for the middle guy, we're using the low-profit model to keep profits going to the farmers," says Paul Dillon, an attorney in Corinth, Maine, who worked on structuring MOOMilk. "Nobody's going to get rich investing in this L3C. But if the goal is to save family farms, that is going to happen."

In the video Carly is heading to American for Community Development's conference, MAY 21 -- 22, 2012, in Washington, D.C.
