The milkman is making a comeback.
A Tulare County dairy operator is planning to open a creamery this summer to bottle his own milk, and he'll do home delivery.
"The way it is now, our milk gets consolidated with everyone's milk," said Ron Locke of Top O' The Morn Farms in Tulare. "But we want to be able to showcase our dairy and the attention we give to producing a quality product."
While the idea may seem like a throwback, it's one that's getting more attention as Valley dairy operators tap the growing interest in local, high-quality foods and try to create new sources of revenue.
In a few months, Tulare may have two options for locally produced milk. Besides Top O' The Morn Farms, Rosa Brothers Milk Company plans to sell its own pasteurized milk along with other dairy products.
