Why More People Are Skipping the Supermarket for Doorstep Milk Delivery
When life gets busy, the last thing most of us want is another trip to the supermarket. Whether it’s queuing in the rain or rushing down crowded aisles, the weekly shop often feels more like a chore than a choice. That’s why more and more households across York and nearby villages are turning to a simpler option: local doorstep delivery from Farm to Fridge.
Fresh Milk, Without the Middlemen
Supermarket milk can travel hundreds of miles before it even hits the shelves. It’s often processed in bulk, stored in plastic cartons, and chilled in vast depots before it makes its way to your fridge.
At Farm to Fridge, we do things differently:
Your milk is collected from small, family-run Yorkshire farms
It’s bottled locally in reusable glass bottles
And delivered to your door early in the morning, ready for breakfast
No unnecessary steps. No supermarket markup. Just fresh milk that tastes how it should.
Local Eggs and Juice Too
Alongside our traditional milk rounds, we deliver free-range eggs, fresh orange juice, and a growing selection of locally sourced produce.
It’s a small switch that supports local farms and cuts out waste — without changing your morning routine.
Early Morning Convenience
We deliver three times a week — Monday, Wednesday and Friday — between 11pm and 8am, so your delivery is waiting for you by the time the kettle’s boiled.
There are no contracts and no subscriptions. You only order what you need, when you need it.
Better for the Planet
Our deliveries use glass bottles that we collect, wash, and reuse. That means no single-use cartons in your bin, and no extra plastic in landfill.
And because our produce is local, there’s no cross-country transport footprint either.
Every bottle delivered is a quiet step in the right direction.
Why It’s Catching On
More people in York and surrounding villages are making the switch — not just for the convenience, but because:
It supports Yorkshire farms
It reduces supermarket reliance
It feels like a return to simpler, more honest service
