Virginia knows:
Yoder Dairies
Get your egg nog order in early for the holidays!
We’ve still got milkmen around here, too. In fact, they were drumming up customers last year in our neighborhood. I decided not to go for it, but it looks like several of my neighbors did. There’s also at least one person on our street who gets groceries delivered.
Oberweis? Best. Ice. Cream. Ever. (oooh, and it’s pepermint season…)
Yeah. Thanks Dopers. For every additional post here, my kid is charging interest on the five bucks. I might have been able to get away with ONE place in the world where milkmen are still doing their stuff, but…OH NO…you lot had to tell me about half the bloody WORLD where they are still plying their trade.
Thanks, heaps. :rolleyes:
Just to fill in another detail; Loneraven mentioned milk floats; it used to be the case that these were exclusively electric vehicles in the form of a covered, but open-sided flatbed van and some dairies still use these, but others have switched to vehicles of similar form, but powered by diesel or petrol engines.
Milk floats have become the iconic ‘annoying slow vehicle’ and this is often played upon in comedy sketches - a memorable example of this being a parody of Speed in Father Ted
On that theme, I highly recommend the “Speed 3” episode of the Britcom Father Ted, in which Father Dougal is trapped driving a milk float (one of those electric carts mentioned above) that will explode if it drops under four miles an hour. Hilarious.
Curse you, Mangetout! 
When I was in India, staying in the big city of Hyderabad, fresh milk walked into the neighborhood every morning. The very freshest there could be: a milkmaid brought a live water buffalo into the neighborhood, parked it on the street corner, and milked to order.
Milkman, heck. How many places still have milkmaids?
Absolutely - the bugger that delivers around here reversed into my car and totalled it - hasn’t been seen since.
I was saw a full milk float that had turned over . CCYou can imagine the mess from all that spilt milk and broken glass. The reason that it had fallen on its side was that the driver had tried to reverse round a bend which had nasty little hill on it . The reverse camber just tipped it over.
My parents, who live in Rhode Island, get milk and OJ delivered in glass bottles. Around this time of year, they get eggnog, too.
According to this article, there were five dairies delivering milk and other products to homes in RI and nearby MA as of a year ago.
My mom remembers the days - not more than 50 years ago - when all sorts of foods, ice, clothing, and other dry goods were sold by traveling salesmen in RI. In fact, when she was a little girl, she used to accompany her father on his rounds delivering freshly baked bread.
There is a one that comes by our house but we don’t buy from them.
No point crying over it, though.
I should have a cry over my typos though. I don’t know what happened there. 
Wasn’t his name Reid Fleming? I ask because I was watching a football game the other day, and one of the players was named Reid Fleming, and it made me flash back to the time I saw a comic book in a store about 20 years ago, and the comic book was about a milkman named Reid Fleming. I didn’t even buy the comic, I just saw the cover that one time. I wish I could remeber important stuff that well.
Dave Attell, on his show Insomniac, spends some time making the rounds with a milkman. So not only do you get firsthand reports here, you also have a source to get actual video of a real milkman in action!
I don’t remember which city it is, and the website and Google are no help. So you’ll just have to watch the show until the segment turns up.
As a matter of fact, I actually get my milk from a milkman. Not in the old-fashioned sense of putting out an empty glass bottle or two and getting new ones in the mornining, but every week the local dairy delivers milk, eggs, cheese, and butter to my house. Not really more expensive than the supermarket and damn convienient.
As I was reading the thread i thought - I can’t believe no one has mentionned Ernie! I was gonna do it myself but then got to the bottom and realised you’d beaten me to it. 
Yes! It’s Reid Fleming, World’s Toughest Milkman!
