Got Milk?
Flipping through the October, 2009 issue of Bon Appétit magazine, this little item about home milk delivery caught my eye. Curious if there were any dairies which provide home delivery in Oregon, I hit up Google. I found one and I have to say, I really thought there would be more. It seems like such an Oregon thing to do.
But, anyway, I found certified organic Noris Dairy, based in Crabtree and providing service to several cities throughout the Willamette Valley.
Hormone and antibiotic free, the cows at Noris graze on pasture year-round. Items available for delivery include milk, yogurt, cheese, and butter. Click here for distribution areas and days.
Aside from the convenience, I find the idea of home dairy delivery a sort of romantic notion. Glass milk bottles, cream rising to the top. Supporting a local farming family and healthy farming practices. I’d love to hear from anyone in the comments if you’re a current Noris home delivery customer. Let our readers know what you think of the products and service!
A friend and I have decided to try it out, so I’ll report back in a few weeks.

Thank you for sharing this! I might have to try this too!
I have an unsolicited suggestion for a future post: local u-pick pumpkin patches! Keep up the great work!
Thanks, Andrea! Great idea, too, I'll try to write something up this weekend.
