The Milk Pail Experience:

Fresh Air, Fine Foods, Friendly People

Milk Pail captured on canvas

   Right away you know this place is different. Walking up, you see the bins of fresh fruit stretching out into the parking lot. Felipe and crew pick only the very finest, whether it’s oranges from California or cherries from Chile. Want organics ? We’ve got ’em.

   In the breezeway with the rest of the fruits and veggies are the glass bottle milk, just like you remember it :)farm-fresh eggs… and we always have 40% manufacturing cream for your favorite recipes. Premium ice cream, too… but we’re just getting started.

   Step into the room where we once processed the raw milk, back when we were really small. Steve calls this the “thrill seeker” room, and no wonder. You can’t turn around without bumping into new and exciting treats. Here are the craft-baked breads (and imported preserves and New Zealand butter to go with them)… along the near wall, the bulk bins of grains, nuts, dried fruits and coffee beans… flaked coconut… vanilla beans too… In the center fridge, chilled fresh salsa, Canadian maple syrup, fresh-ground peanut butter… also soy foods and German meats… and then there’s the main attraction…

   

Did somebody say cheese ?

cheese, fruit, nutsThis is the place! Cheese for picnics, for parties, for pasta, for your morning omelette… Italian reggiano, Danish fontina, French Morbier, Dutch gouda, Bulgarian feta, Swiss Tilsiter, Vermont extra sharp cheddar, organic California jack… and over three hundred other varieties to put the zing back in your dining.

   

Did you know?
Cow’s milk hasn’t always been the primary milk for cheese. Sheep and goats were domesticated perhaps as long ago as 10,000 years… cows for only a dozen or so centuries. Sumerian writings (ca. 3000 BCE) referred to 20 different soft cheeses, all of goat and sheep milk origin!

   

Remember, Milk Pail Market has the same fine imported cheeses as those “carriage trade” stores… we just price them three to six dollars a pound nicer.  Why?  Because we like you.
