Local Dairy Products in East Hartford, CT

Home delivery of milk and dairy products, fresh cheese, and other farm-fresh products may seem like an old-fashioned idea that’s totally out of touch with modern lifestyles. But the truth, however, is that this “old idea” is suitable for busy families, residents in East Hartford, and a growing number of other Connecticut locations. If you’re interested in the quality and convenience of local dairy products and milk delivery services, The Modern Milkman is here to serve you.

Imagine being able to count on delivery to your front door on a specific day! Think of the health and nutritional benefits of fresh dairy products. And the enjoyment that you and your family will derive from having the freshest and best dairy products, baked goods, eggs, and artisanal food from local producers. The Modern Milkman has teamed up with such producers throughout the state to bring you specialty products in addition to the basics. Sign up for the plan that suits your needs – ranging in price from $23.99 for four products of your choice to the Family Plan, offering eight products for $39.00.

Add specialty products anytime, and customize your orders as you choose. You can even skip a week or two if you plan to be on vacation. Savor the goodness that will become a regular part of your life. Our plan offers easy enrollment, changes, and additions to the weekly subscription anytime you request, and the ability to “take a break” without question or penalty at any time.

An Idea Grounded in History

The Modern Milkman is owned and operated by Oakridge Dairy, with a 100-year history of serving local families. It all started with “happy cows” and has developed from there. 

We now offer much more than milk, but our goal is to provide the best products and services available to area families. Our partner companies are equally dedicated to serving you with unique, high-quality food products at fair prices.

Local Food Delivery Products

All of our high-quality milk products are pasteurized and homogenized. All dairy products are pasteurized, except for cheeses from Smith’s Country Cheese in Winchester, MA, produced with raw milk.

Some of our current partners include family-owned firms with a long history, such as ours, and local producers of artisan products using time-tested methods that promise quality and good taste.
