Our storyThe milkman never really left. He just got earlier.
Milk Before 7 brings glass bottle milk back to Derby doorsteps. Fresh from local UK farms, on your step before 7am, with the empties collected and reused.
Remember the milkman? The little things you remember.
- The hum of the float at half five
- Blue tits pecking through the foil
- A note in the empty bottle: "One extra please"
- Gold top on a Sunday, for the good tea
The round, start to finish Before Derby wakes up.
- Early
Crates on the float
Everyone's order, counted and loaded while Derby's still asleep.
- Clink
First doorstep
Fresh pints down, last week's empties picked up. Quietly, mostly.
- 6:59
Last bottle down
Every order on its step before 7. That's the whole point of the name.
- 7:00
Your kettle on
Open the door, grab the milk, make a brew.
