When we had young children at home, we had home milk delivery. That was
25-ish years ago and there were a couple of dairies that offered home
delivery. When one of them gave up, the other took over delivery to those
customers and continues delivery to this day. The biggest change is, when
we had the service long ago, there were two delivery days per week to the
area, today, there is only one. However, there is the full range of dairy
products available today, pretty much anything available at the supermarket.
In olden days, we didn't have 100+ variations on yogurt, ersatz milk, etc.

It will be 2 deliveries a week. Milk in Glass Bottles!!!!

LOL not seen that in years) I don't know yet what else will be on offer
but I guess I will find out I am very pleased though))
