meadow brook dairy

Months ago...June, I think...I got an email from Michelle at Between Cottage and Cabin. Michelle had found a vintage Meadowbrook Dairy milk bottle and wanted to know if she could send it my way.

Um, yes please, Michelle!


Isn't it just the cutest thing?

The fact that our little farm used to be a dairy back in the day makes this gift even more special.

It has had a prominent place in my kitchen since the day it arrived and has the privilege of being the second item in my Meadowbrook collection.

Thank you, Michelle for thinking of me! I love my Meadowbrook milk bottle.

Love it!

    What a great gift! I see it filled with a strand of Christmas lights during the holidays!

    How sweet of her! I have a collection of milk bottles that my daddy unearthed many years ago. Some of them are from local dairies. We used them at my daughter's wedding reception to hold wildflowers.

    That was so sweet! I was up in Cooperstown NY this summer, and we drove through Walton. Much of the town was seriously suffering under the economy, but one of the first things I saw was Meadowbrook Farm and thought of you and this lovely blog. (I tried to get a picture but the hubs wouldn't turn back!)

    This is so neat!! My husband and I recently had a custodian at the school we teach give us a milk bottle that has our last name on it. It also says "straight from the producers to you," and it is printed in red which matches our kitchen perfectly!! I love it when we are blessed with simple items like these! Thanks again for sharing! Have a blessed day!
