Fresh Dairy in Suffield, CT

One of the best things about “the good old days,” at least in the minds of some people, would be the home deliveries of fresh milk and dairy products. On a warm summer’s day, there might be nothing better than a glass of cold, fresh milk!

That experience – and that convenience – can be yours today in many Connecticut communities. The Modern Milkman allows customers to personalize their orders for a variety of fresh, locally produced dairy products and delivers them directly to your door weekly.

It is a thoroughly modern way to return to the best of the past and to savor the goodness of locally-produced products. In addition to milk, cheese, and dairy products, The Modern Milkman offers subscribers a wealth of additional options, including fresh eggs and locally-baked bread and rolls from our partners. All of our quality milk products are pasteurized and homogenized, except for select cheeses made from raw milk.

Our Dairy’s History

Oakridge Dairy, in north-central Connecticut, is the largest in the state, with 3,000 acres of farmland devoted to growing feed for pampered dairy cows. It is not only a model of modern efficiency, but a sustainable operation grounded in good-natured animal treatment and the preservation of high standards that were instituted in 1890 when the farm was founded.

Today, we still subscribe to the principle of “Quality In = Quality Out.” Our modern barns provide our dairy herd with a posh lifestyle, and the “girls” get plenty of exercise and fresh food. They eat when they’re hungry, drink fresh well water when they’re thirsty, and sleep on comfortable bedding when they wish. They are treated with the utmost care and respect, and every bottle of milk they produce proves this and is always guaranteed fresh.

Choose a Plan to Suit Your Needs

The “new again” concept of home delivery means returning to a past when buying local food was the norm, and when “good” was always linked to “fresh.” Consumers form strong connections with producers, and the result is a strengthened sense of community.

The Modern Milkman currently serves 29 Connecticut locations but allows individual pickup of orders three days a week at our Ellington location for residents who are not yet served by regular deliveries.

We Have Three Plans Available:

A Full Share. Includes a choice of any six products from our extensive menu, delivered weekly.

Half Share. Features a choice of any four products.

The Family Share. Allows subscribers to choose eight products to be delivered every week.

How the Delivery Service Works

Orders may be customized as needed, and subscribers may alter orders from week to week as necessary – we only ask for 72 hours’ notice. Our customers also have the option to pause an order or to suspend a delivery at any time, to suit vacation schedules or adapt to lifestyle changes.

On the specified delivery day, our drivers will carefully place your products in a designated container near your front door. Although you need not be physically present to receive your order, we ask that you follow standard food safety and handling precautions. Our orders will typically remain cold and fresh for several hours, but you are responsible for making provision for proper storage of food products at a safe temperature before consumption.
