****UPDATE****
A quick update from Manhattan Milk .
Home delivery coming to the area on Thursday, but not to Carroll Gardens yet.
"Manhattan Milk," a milk distributor, has been offering right-to-your-door delivery service of organic, hormone-free milk from grass-fed cows since 2007. But as the business' name would suggest, delivery has been limited to Manhattan. Until now...
"Manhattan Milk" has been expanding and is ready to cross the Brooklyn Bridge into Cobble Hill, Dumbo, Park Slope and the Heights to deliver to a stoop near you.
The only downside is the price. A quart of milk from Manhattan Milk costs $4.99. Rather steep, I say. If you are interested, you can place your order now. Deliveries will start on Thursday.
Frank Ancosta, Manhattan Milk's creative director writes:
So, Readers, are you welcoming this service or is the price a deal-breaker?We will start delivering this Thursday Morning to Brooklyn. We will be in Cobble Hill, Dumbo, Park Slope, And Brooklyn Heights. Our service will begin with a 1 Month, 3 Months, or 6 Month Subscription including a milk box or bag. Please have your order into us by 3 PM Monday if you would like to begin service. We look forward to seeing you.
Place order here . You can also email Frank directly at facosta at manhattanmilk dot com.

Two deal breakers: the price is ridiculous and company has a creative director. Waaaaay too precious. Sounds like something best suited for name dropping one-upmanship at cocktail parties, etc: "I have a real milk person deliver my milk to my home". Give me a break. I remember waking up to the sounds of the milk man delivering milk, sour cream, and whatever else Mommy ordered. That was before the world changed and we can't go back. Forgetaboutit.
$5.00 a quart? How do we know its from organic grass fed cows? I guess if people are willing to pay $15 a pound for chicken cutlets (union market) then whats $20 for a gallon of milk.
In the normal world that can get you 3 gallons of milk and a pound of chicken breast. Old school people would slap you for spending so much money.
As old school people used to say (or maybe still do), there's a sucker born every minute. Just because someone has the gumption to charge so much money for a product doesn't mean it's worth the money....
