Anyone have any experience with their home delivery of milk?

Wondering if it would be worth trying...

Thanks!

Jennifer

A number of Capitol Hill families recently formed a bloc large enough for SMC to start a Capitol Hill route. I've been reading about their reactions on a neighborhood listserv. Most people seem to be very satisfied, although there have been a few reports of delivery (non-delivery) issues. We have good friends on the new route, and they love the service and have had no complaints.

I have searched the boards, including the shopping index, and can't locate a thread on home milk delivery. Does anyone remember the name of the dairy in Maryland near Frederick that offeres home delivery?

I found this on the Google: South Mountain Creamery

I don't have any experience with it, but it looks like something I would love to try!

As I remarked here, I have heard good things about South Mountain Creamery (but have not tried it).

That's the one. I just signed up, and will report back once we get our first order.

Heather--I'm toying with signing up for home delivery. What's your take on it so far? Any feedback appreciated.

I signed up online, and they called me to confirm, but we have yet to get a delivery. They haven't been charging us, so I just let it go.

I have used them since I moved to north western Loudoun (that would be Catoctin Co.)

Love them.

Does anyone have any more recent information/experience with South Mountain Creamery? Someone in my neighborhood is looking into getting enough homes together for a delivery route. Thanks.

We just signed on with South Mountain and got our first delivery on Tuesday. The milk is definitely better tasting than the usual supermarket stuff. We also tried their sharp cheddar - very nice!! We're looking forward to trying more of their products.

We've been buying from South Mountain for almost a year now. Definitely check out their other products. Their ground turkey is great, and the butter is so good I may have eaten it by the spoonful the first time we got it... And, they have family festivals on the farm in the spring and fall. (I wrote about the spring one here.)

SMC has great products. We had a nice time at their Cow Caper festival earlier this summer, which is a good opportunity to ogle some farm animals and buy some great dairy foods. The ice cream was ok but I was most impressed by the whole-milk yogurt, particularly the blueberry variety. I am also pleased that they sell whole-milk buttermilk. There's a small shop on-site in Middletown if you happen to live nearby. One of my neighbors is the owner's brother, so they deliver out here on the rural edge of suburbia, too.
