Quality In, Quality Out: The Modern Milkman Difference
You can count on quality doorstep dairy deliveries from our fresh local dairy. We can assure the freshness of our product because of the way we treat our cows. The Modern Milkman delivers milk from Oakridge Dairy, where we have been caring for cows for over a century. Our family-run business grows all the food we feed the cows. They also get fresh well water whenever they need it.
Every morning, we pick up any food the cows have not eaten and replace it with some that’s fresh. Our eight-acre open stall barn allows the cows to roam around freely, eat when they want, drink when they want, and sleep where and when they want. We understand that happy cows produce higher quality milk and dairy products, so we ensure our cows are happy and healthy to provide you with only the best.
In addition to the main barn, we have a nursery barn for calving cows and a hospital barn for cows that get sick or are injured. The separate barns allow pregnant and sick cows to recover without the pressure from the rest of the herd.
Multiple times a day, the cows are milked in the milking barn. They file into a milking stall where a machine hooks the milker to the cow’s udder and then releases it when the cow has been milked. Once the device releases the milker, the cow walks back to the barn.
The milk then goes into a large tank to cool, where we pasteurize it. From there, the milk is quick-cooled and bottled, so it is ready for fresh milk doorstep delivery.
