From the first link.......

The brothers grew up with three other siblings, milking 60 to 80 cows, tending a small garden plot, and managing a woodlot for firewood that heated the house and was sold in town to make ends meet. Today, taxes make it impossible to raise a family and farm on that small scale.

So far, the family is a success story, but they worry about the future of small family farms. ''There are still about 60 organic dairy farms in Maine," says Gloria, ''but just this past year two folded."

I loved reading that though and looking at their website!
