I remember when visiting grandparents in the country
they would send me a few hundred yards to the dairy
farm next door with a pail to come home with milk I
dipped out of the big container in the "milk house"
every day or two.

When my family moved to that same area, we bought
our raw milk 15 quart glass bottles at a time from a
dairy farm a couple of miles away on the state highway.

I remember going to a farm with my grandmother to buy bottled unhomogenized milk and spooning the heavy thick cream off the top for our berries.
Anyone remember the glass bottle milk vending machines?
