Join our milk round
Our goal at Modern Milkman is to make the home sustainable, and, to date, we've prevented over 100 million plastic bottles from polluting the planet. Not bad for a business that started as four friends from Lancashire delivering milk from a beat-up truck!
We’re using technology, creative problem solving and innovating historical methods to bring back the Milk round and by doing that we offer our customers the ability to make more planet-positive shopping habits one small, simple and very convenient step at a time. We care about local communities and are really proud to connect our customers to local dairies, bakers and producers.
You can find us across the UK and in the US (Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island)
