When I was just a young boy things were a lot different than they are today. Naturally, we didn't have cell phones, video games, cd's, dvd's, and all that stuff.
There was one thing we did have, though... the milkman!
My parents had a milkman, and it may have been Meadowbrook Dairies, just outside Pottstown. I am not sure.
My grandparents, not only had a milkman, "Peachy," but a butcher, who delivered meat to the house, and a grocery truck, that stopped regularly. My grandmother's butcher was named, "Peanuts." All I remember about the grocery truck is the fact that it was a big green truck that we would climb up into, and pick-out what we wanted. The truck carried literally everything from soup to nuts.
I am sure we had bread delivered to the home, as well. It may have been Bond Bread or Sunbeam.
When my two daughters were small, we had a milkman, also. They are now around 30-some years old.
Recently, that old-time tradition has returned... at least to the area around Morgantown, Elverson, Honey Brook, etc.
Doorstep Dairy recently brought back the quality and convenience of milk delivery, and a whole lot more.
Daryl Mast, and his family, has picked up the milk and grocery delivery business where his grandfather left off about 40 or 50 years ago.
While milk. and other dairy products, are the core of products offered by Doorstep Dairy, the Mast's offer their customers a whole lot more!
If you check out their website ( www.doorstepdairy.com ) you will find a long list of delicious items, such as baked goods (pies, bread, sticky buns, donuts & more), milk (white milk, chocolate milk, whole milk, skim milk, plastic bottles, glass bottles, etc.), cheese and other dairy ( a variety of cheese, yogurt, eggs, cream, and half & half, are just a few). Add to that list coffee, ice tea, orange juice, lemonade and some seasonal products such as apple cider, egg nog and even flowers!
The great thing about this service, is the fact that the products are local. Local dairy products, local baked goods, local farms and producers.
The Polish Farmers are proud to announce we are partnering up with The Doorstep Dairy, in an effort of mutual promotion.
In the near future, customers of The Doorstep Dairy will be able to order our pierogies to be delivered to their door, and we would like to encourage local residents who visit our website, blog, etc. to check-out The Doorstep Dairy!
Visit their website for yourself, or go to www.thepolishfarmers.com and click on the special link on the link page. You'll be glad you did!
In the meantime..... got milk?
