About Oakhurst Dairy
Oakhurst Dairy is a family-owned and operated dairy company based in Portland, Maine.

All of Oakhurst's milk is free of artificial growth hormones (rBST) and antibiotics. In addition to traditional dairy products like milk, cream and butter, Oakhurst also offers a range of lactose-free options for those with dietary restrictions.

The company sponsors numerous events throughout the year that promote healthy living and support local charities. For example, every year Oakhurst hosts the "Healthy Hometowns" program which encourages kids to get active by offering prizes for completing physical challenges.
