About us
Local Milkman (Robert Gray Dairy Ltd), is a family run business, and was established in 2015. Local Milkman is a Sheffield-based food delivery service dedicated to bringing the freshest local produce directly to your door. Established with a passion for supporting local farmers and businesses, we aim to strengthen our community by making local goods more accessible.
With the help of his wife Kelly, Robert delivers through the night to ensure your produce is on your door step before breakfast. Robert has been a milkman for over 17 years and before this was a dairy farmer himself.
Our services offer convenience without compromising on quality, ensuring you enjoy the freshest milk, fruit juices, potatoes, eggs, and dairy goods, all while supporting the local economy.
Our products are locally sourced, our milk is supplied by Jackson's Dairies of Hazelgrove. All milk is carefully sourced from selected farms within the Peak District. We offer locally sourced free range eggs and dairy products from Longley farm. In addition our potatoes come from Storrs Green farm in Stannington, Sheffield.
Glass Bottles
Our milk gets delivered in reusable glass bottles.
The main factor in the glass vs plastic debate is that of their respective ecological impact. Glass bottles are far more sustainable and eco-friendly than plastic. They can be recycled and reused upwards of 20 times, whereas plastic can take hundreds of years to fully decompose.
This means plastic containers can often end up in landfills and the ocean.
So, when comparing their sustainability and carbon footprint it’s apparent that glass is far more environmentally friendly. Our community of customers is making a difference, one small step at a time. Together, we’re reducing waste and caring for our planet with every delivery.
A big difference between plastic containers and glass bottles is that glass is a non-porous material. This means it doesn’t leach into the milk. In contrast, plastic can release harmful chemicals like BPA into the milk, which ultimately means glass is a safe choice for you and your family.
