My dad grew up in the New Haven, Connecticut area. I was going through some of his old photos recently when I came upon this one. It's a photo of a very early milk truck from the New Haven Dairy. There's nothing written on it so I don't know who the men are in the photo. While home milk delivery still exists in certain parts of the country, their trucks have changed a bit!
My milk boxes sit in the barn unused. When we moved, milk delivery was no longer an option for us. There is something so simple and wonderful about this process. I am happy to say that I have found a local dairy that sells milk in half gallon glass bottles. To me, the milk tastes so much better in glass and I love supporting the local farmer! Perhaps someday, a milkman will grace my doorstep once again.
