This morning we got our first delivery (!!) from South Mountain Creamery (dairy & meat from a local farm). The milk came in a glass bottle, delivered to us in our new metal box that says "South Mountain Creamery" and shows a horse & buggy delivering milk in olden times.
On the way to the bus stop this morning, Simon & I discussed how people used to get their milk delivered all the time, and how some people had a milk box outside their door, and others had a "milk door" actually built into their house.
Simon: "That's because they didn't have grocery stores. Well, they had them, but they were made out of wood. And they were smaller than ours are because they didn't have as much land then. It was taken up by all the farms."
