Frequently Asked Questions...
Simple, Flexible, Hassle-Free
Do you deliver locally sourced milk?
Did you know we are the ONLY milkman in York who can deliver Greyleys Jersey milk to your doorstep. Greyleys are based in Elvington, York and so this means the milk and milkshakes from here are the most locally sourced product we provide.
Where are most of your products from?
Dales Dairies is our main supplier. They are a brilliant dairy based in the Yorkshire Dales, who provide us with farm fresh milk, delicious Longley Farm products and more.
Do you deliver locally sourced eggs?
Yes, our free-range eggs are from Elliot’s in Yorkshire.
Where is your fresh juice sourced from?
Crib Farm Dairies - also based in Yorkshire.
Do you offer dairy alternatives?
Yes! We can deliver oat milk in glass bottles, lacto-free milk in cartons and so much more. Please see our product list page for further details…
Can you deliver in bulk to restaurants and other businesses?
Absolutely! We currently deliver to restaurants, butchers, bakers etc who all use a variety of products such as trays of free-range eggs, 2 Litre cartons of cream etc. Please get in touch for further details on bulk items.
How do I make payment?
Each month you would receive an invoice via email (or paper invoice if this were your preference) with all our bank details on for transfer. If you needed to pay by cheque then this can be accommodated, please let us know.
How do I let you know that I’m going away and need to temporarily cancel my milk?
This is super simple! Please just text, email or call us with your alteration dates and we will sort all the rest.
Can I add extra items onto my order every now and again?
Of course! We try to be as flexible as possible and will always do our best to deliver any last minute requests. We can also rotate items fortnightly/monthly etc… for example if you went through one block of cheese per fortnight then we can apply this to your account so that you don’t have to add it to your regular weekly order.
Are you a local milk delivery company?
YES! As a family we have been delivering up and down the streets of York for over 30 years.
We are not a big, national company and when you get your milk delivered by us, you are supporting a small, local business and their family.
