Warm Weather Milk Tips

Keep your milk fresher longer by following these simple tips:

  • Place your porch milk box where the driver can see it but where it will be shaded from the early morning sunlight.
  • Refrigerate the milk as soon as possible.
  • Rinse out your porch box on a regular basis so it won’t smell.
  • Keep milk out of the light. Sunlight destroys vitamins.
  • Set your refrigerator to 35-40° F.

(The average shelf life of milk at 40°F is 10-12 days.)
