Modern Milkman Blog

Buying local gives you and your community many benefits, including keeping money in the community and having fresher products. Before 1980 or so, it was common to have a local dairy company deliver milk to your door, whether you chose to get local milkman delivery daily, biweekly, or weekly.

Do you remember the days when a milkman delivered milk to your front door? If not, you may have heard your parents or grandparents talk about old-fashioned milk deliveries.  Back then, you could have milk delivered to your home on an as-need basis.

Dairy farms in Connecticut provide many of the fresh foods we enjoy, including milk, cheese, butter, eggs, and cream. We depend on dairy products being fresh at the store, but they are often stored from 48 hours to several days before you buy them.
