#2It always seemed cool to me from the old TV shows to see the Milk Man making deliveries. Add some other staples like Bread and Eggs and I could see them making a comeback.

#3I hope to see this trend come back. We pre-order milk and vegetables from an Amish farmers market and pick it up at a drop off location in our neighborhood. The quality is so good that we don't mind paying an extra bit more, it is actually not a lot more expensive but one has to commit to order and pick it up in specific location so this particular setup won't work for everyone.

#5My milkman service has been a godsend during quarantine. They missed a week early on while testing all their drivers, but other than that it's been flawless. I get fresh milk, bread, eggs, even ice cream delivered every week. They don't offer everything, but Amazon and the rare Instacart order fill in the gaps. Highly highly recommended (if there's such a service in your area, and they're still accepting new customers)!

#6I loved having a milkman when I lived in an area where they were available. It was a bit tricky in the summer months sometimes as I’m a late riser, but having twice weekly deliveries of basic essentials that I didn’t have to think about really reduced the number of times I needed to go shopping. Now because of covid I have to do amazon/whole foods orders to get my groceries, and it’s a massive pain. I’m mostly ordering the same things each time, but the website is slow (to add things to cart etc) and it takes me 20 min or so to order all the things. I wish I could have a repeat order of simple things and then just add on whatever else I needed.

#7Well, that's certainly one way to address the decline in birth rates.

#8We signed up with Smith Brothers Farms last fall. It was good before COVID and it's even better now. We get milk, cream, eggs, and carrots every week.

"One of my coworkers at the dairy told me a joke at lunch today that was so hilarious it made cottage cheese shoot out me nose. More disturbingly, though... I wasn't eating cottage cheese at the time."
