Very few of us can personally recall the days of the milk deliveryman (okay, maybe a few of you diehards in suburbia do) but the rest of us have taken it for granted that milk stockpiled in supermarkets after being trucked from major milk manufacturing facilities.
But here I am clicking away at the TV and NBC’s show “NY Nonstop” is showing a segment called “Manhattan Milk Men”.
Got milk? They do.
All sexual innuendos aside, there is a professional dairy product delivery service in New York City.
And business is good.
With a growing group of consumers interested in organic foods, the “Manhattan Milk Men” have secured themselves a firm customer base. According to their website description, the milk delivery company offers “organic glass bottled milk, organic cage free eggs, glass hormone-free milk, cases of water, juices, and assorted dairy products.”
The source of their produce? Fifty-one Amish families from Dutch County, Pennsylvania. If it’s the Amish you can be pretty sure they don’t use pesticides or growth hormones.
The team here at Diners.org will do a more extensive review of the dairy products from “Manhattan Milk Man” at a later date, but we welcome comments and opinions from those of you who sampled them already.
You can read more about the “Manhattan Milk Men” here. You can also watch the NBC NY Nonstop segment I saw below. Or click here if the video doesn’t work.
