Sixth-generation family dairy farm plans to bring back the milkman

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WPTA/Gray News) – A family-owned dairy farm in Indiana is planning to bring the milkman back to the roads.

Kuehnert Dairy Farm has been in the family for six generations.

The farm is known for its annual fall festival and launched the Milk House earlier this year.

The Kuehnert Milk House serves various flavors of milk in glass bottles, including unique flavors like cotton candy and orange cream.

Customers are allowed to bring the bottles back for store credit as a part of the family’s mission to have a classic approach to dairy products, while also helping with sustainability.

The family farm now says they have decided to take their “old-fashioned approach” one step further: they plan to bring the milkman back, delivering milk, cheese curds, and butter.

Milk House Manager Andrew Kuehnert said he hopes this is another way for the business to connect with the community.

“We want to make our milk from our house to your house... and that is ultimately what we want to do with this delivery route,” Kuehnert said.

An exact start date for milkman deliveries hasn’t been set, but Kuehnert said they hope to have the program up and running within the next three months.

“We’ve had great reception from the public saying, ‘We would really enjoy having that at our doorstep,’” Kuehnert said.

The delivery service will have all orders placed online.
