Variety is the name of the game at The Milk Man delivery – they carry raw, organic and traditional milk products from local dairies such as Alta Dena, Broguieres (in bottles!) and Claravale Farm. You can also get products like La Brea bread and fresh eggs. This means you can snack on cookies while you make an egg sandwich for dinner (Brinner!). With all milk being junk-free, like no antibioitics or RBST, you can chug away. Put The Milk Man on speed dial in time for Christmas – the Egg Nog from Broguieres will be the hit of your holiday party.
