My Trip To The Dairy

For the heck of it, here is Smiths Dairy of Orville, Ohio founded in 1909 by two brothers who borrowed $300.00 to start the dairy they got a couple buggy's and horses and stuff for $300.00 back then.
Anyhow Smiths does a couple grocery stores and Convenient Foods Marts in Lorain county and C-Stores and Gas Stations I don't know all of what they do further down south near Orville,Ohio they supply Giant Eagle with Ruggles Ice Cream and I think even might do the Cleveland Indian's well I think they did do the Indian's. Piere's Ice Cream which is a local ice cream maker here in Cleveland might do the Indians now.

Anyhow this is there drop warehouse/yard in Elyria, Ohio.

Smiths trucks have like a freezer compartment hence the side door so ice cream comes out the side and see there is a little lift gate that comes out the side as well and stows underneath. There trucks are pretty cool and pretty heavy duty the door actually slides and see there's a lift gate and the milk comes out the back on the lift gate, you still have to use a two wheeler and dairy man hook though.


Oh by the way at the end of the day what is the result of all this fluid milk production you may ask? Well I'll show you, this is some macaroni and cheese I got the recipe off of Smith's Dairy website and used there milk to make it:

 

Yeah I would agree with that about the diary industry going down the tubes stuff probably was better when it was locally owned. Didn't Blue Bunny have the big listeria outbreak?

 

Blue Bell I think that's right real similar name though your right!
