Milk Delivery Popular Again

A Virginia couple is delivering milk to Woodbridge residents the old fashioned way: right to their doorstep.

Samantha and Tim Stern, along with their children, founded Holy Cow Delivery in 2009. At their 20-acre farm in Strasburg, they raise sheep, goats, and Rhode Island Red Chickens. And at Samantha Stern’s father’s farm, South Mountain Creamery in Middletown, Md., is where fresh, whole, homogenized milk is produced for delivery to the Potomac Communities.

Samantha, an agriculture teacher for 10 years, and Tim a former Botanist for Winchester, started out selling 15 half-gallons of milk per week at local farmers markets, including the popular Dale City Farmer’s Market. The business has grown to selling and delivering 1,000 half-gallons per week, and they now fill orders made on their website.

“Doing home delivery was a better way to reach you guys instead of people coming out to us on our farm. Why not have farmers on wheels delivering locally produced milk and dairy products,” asked Samantha Stern.

In addition to Woodbridge, Holy Cow delivers to towns along Interstate 66 – a road where they attracted at least one customer:

I found your site while drivi[n]g on I66 on your cool truck, ironically from grocery shopping at Giant. Got on the internet while driving, (not cool) to get your phone number. I spoke with your very patient and witty mom and got most of the info I need to place an order. I’ve been in the market researching the best possible milk I can find in the market for my 3 kids without having to buy a share of a cow or traveling to the ends of the earth to get it.

For many, having milk delivered fresh to their homes is something they’ve never experienced. Samantha, herself, was surprised at the concept of delivering milk to people’s homes and exclaimed “holy cow” when she and her husband began talking about the idea — hence the business name.

The Sterns say they make it easy for anyone to come out to their farm to put a face with the milk.

“It’s like were all a family when they come to our house to meet us, we chat over email, we all become part of a family,” said Samantha Stern.
