We LOVE our milk man Austin!
He always leaves our delivery stacked perfectly and tidy in our box and we can always expect him around the same time every Tuesday!
He delivered our order today even with 5+inches of snow on the ground and the main entrance to our neighborhood being blocked from a spin out causing people to have to find side entrances!
We also left him a small gift in our milk box for Christmas and he actually went back to his truck to write us a hand written thank you note to leave us un return which might seem like no big deal to most but manners are everything and now-a-days most people forget manners often so it really meant alot even though we didn't expect a thank you.
Thank you for your hard work Austin!

Austin, hi.
I’d like to change our delivery date  once a month every 3rd of the month.
I’ll turn-in our grocery lists prior to the 3rd.
We have around at least $50$ dollars or more  worth of groceries we will be needing from you on that week.
For now we’re ok with groceries- but WILL be needing quite a bit of groceries from you by the 1st week of April.  Save you gas & Time.
Thank you.

Hi Austin!
We are new to the Phinney Ridge neighborhood and to Smith Brothers Farms.  Thank you for your hard work and keeping us supplied with wonderful products.  We moved here as my husband is getting a bone marrow transplant at SCCA, so getting food safely delivered is very important for us- thank you for your help!  Take care and stay safe.   Joan

Hey Austin!  You're SUCH a ROCKSTAR!  Thank you so much for all of your hard work and for being so quiet when you deliver bright and early at our house.  We have two pups who NEVER CEASE to bark like mad the moment someone comes to the door and SOMEHOW with your MILKMAN NINJA SKILLS you manage to sneak in, drop off our BELOVED Smith Brothers Farms delicious sustenance and never wake the pups!  Except maybe that one time I fell asleep on the couch watching a boring Jean Claude Van Damme movie around 2:00 am and your visit woke me up sufficiently so I could go to bed for another couple hours and sleep.  Thanks for that too, by the way.  You're just SO SPECIAL and we're SO LUCKY to have you as our ROCKSTAR MILKMAN EXTRAORDINARE.  - The Almeida Family

Thank you, Austin, for being our wonderful milkman!   Every delivery has been perfect.  My toddler can’t get enough of his milk so our family is always happy to see fresh milk on our doorstep every Friday.

Thank you  for your consistency and professionalism! You are always on time, quiet when delivering our order and never forget an item.  Consider yourself lucky that you haven’t met our chihuahua- she is still asleep when you deliver. But she doesn’t like the mail carrier, or anyone that walks by.
But We appreciate you!

Thanks Austin, for your reliability in delivering our order each week!  We had no idea you are a dawg, and you'll be happy to know that this household has 3 dawgs in the family!  

Thanks again!  You are SO appreciated!

Austin,

Thank you so much for your consistent delivery. You definitely went the extra mile when you were out of the 1/2 and 1/2 last week! You really didn't need to do that even though it was much appreciated.

My Mum recently moved next door to me and I was excited to share what a wonderful service you provide. She is all signed up!

Take care and hope you can enjoy some good weather.

Thank you Austin for all your hard work and dedication, especially during these last few months.  Knowing that our family can depend on you to bring us our essentials is a much needed certainty in these very uncertain times.  We appreciate all you do!

I just wanted to thank you myself. I'm the mum who moved next door to the Runchels. You keep us happy! I agree with the Banks family about how you stack our deliveries. Like other people I'm amazed at how quiet you are, how you brave difficult weather and difficult road conditions.
All the best!
