Started buying milk that comes in glass jugs and it hits different

[Anonymous]

Has anyone else experienced this?

Started to buy our weekly milk that comes in glass jugs/containers instead of plastic/cartons and it just tastes different

Have you experienced the same?

Get south mountain to deliver it straight to you and you’ll have a literal milkman whose name you know. It’s the best.

I don’t drink milk, but my child does and he has a very strong preference towards Fairlife milk. We have tried all sorts of organic milk and the glass jug milk sold at Wegmans/whole foods, but he says the Fairlife brand is the best. I thought the glass jug milk would be the best, but he prefers the Fairlife brand.

It’s fresh(er). South Mountain Creamery delivery changed my life. The cream top milk is DIVINE.

I agree, OP. I don’t buy milk often, but when I do, it has to be the kind in a glass bottle. There was a creamery in PA several years ago that sold their milk at WF and it was the best I had ever had. They have ceased operations, though. What brand do you buy?

Do you know much about the owner of South Mountain?

People keep promoting SMC on here but I found it just average

Two other good milks:

Coulter Farms - Amish family that sell organic, creamline milk at Silver Spring, Old Town Alexandria farmers markets.

Shenandoah Valley Family Farm, and in that coop Mountain Branch Creamery. Purchased for NOVA delivery through Polyface farm. The cows are A2A2 which is more like an old fashioned breed and the milk is easier on the stomach.

Glass helps it stay chilled.

Tell us more, please. I still feel beyond bummed and betrayed that Washington Green Grocer claimed they would just be using SMC as a “delivery partner” going forward when it seems WGG folded.

Definitely tastes different because it’s fresher and eating local grass. I know a family where the dad still drinks plastic carton milk because he can’t adjust the flavor even though the family gets glass bottle milk delivered. People often prefer what they grew up with.

Do you mean Snowville Creamery? They didn't close but I think WF changed distributors.

I remember reading that Trickling Springs was an Amish Ponzi scheme (with Amish victims, the milk was just milk), but not about SMC.

I’ve heard fairlife is ethnically very bad and is mean to their cows

We tried the glass bottles for a little while, but it seemed to go bad sooo much faster.
