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.

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.
