I really don't see the need for such a delivery now. Unfortunately, it's a thing of the past. I wonder if it still goes on in towns in PA that have the Amish people or in other small towns in Wisconsin.

While they don't home deliver, there is a wonderful dairy in Trucksville, PA which is just outside of Wilkes-Barre. Hillside Farms is an old dairy farm which uses the cows from it's herd as well as from a few other local herds to make their own milk, cream & ice cream. The milk is put up in glass bottles, and the prices are very reasonable when compared to mass-market dairies in the area. I used to go there every week when we lived in PA to pick up fresh milk. I know there are also a couple more down in the Amish country below Allentown, but the names don't come to me now.
When we lived in Maryland we had delivery from a farm called South Mountain Creamery which was located west of the Baltimore area. Same story..local farmer putting up milk, cream & ice cream with his own herd. They also offered fresh eggs from their own chickens and a variety of other items as well. You ordered each week on-line prior to your delivery date & then your milk would come on the chosen date. We loved them.
Wish there was something like that down here, but so far I haven't found anything like it.
