Our last milk delivery service died off at least a decade ago. For at least 20 years until the end it was local dairys delivering non-homogenized whole milk straight from the farm in glass bottles. Store milk is usually all homogenized so the fat doesn’t separate. Farm milk will separate a little bit so the lid gets cream stuck to it. Felt like a fancy luxury for not much more$.

It was just an artisan product that tasted better than the store version and lasted until delivery costs got high enough to not be worth dropping off 1-2 gallons of milk at a door. Then they started plastic jugging it to sell at non Walmarts until they shuttered entirely.
