Our most asked question :

Where can I buy your milk locally?

There are now separate websites dedicated to our Hershey and Borden shelf stable UHT milk products. Each has a map of the US. Clicking on your state brings up a listing of retailers carrying our products. If a retailer has a listing of their store locations (or a search by address section) that's the link we're providing.

I just wanted to send you this email and thank you for your product. My son is in the army and stationed at a fire post in Afghanistan. They are in the middle of nowhere. His camp is referred as camp hell by the news media and there was a story on last week’s ABC news about it. (Not what this mom wanted to hear or see) He misses milk and cereal. We told him we could get boxed milk and send it with pre-pkgd cereal bowls. Of course, stateside he had never heard of that, but was glad to hear of such a product. His 2 boxes with goodies, including boxed milk, went out yesterday. I wish I could be there when he opens them. Of course we sent cookies, too. Nothing better than milk and cookies.!! Again I thank you for your product. I know he will enjoy a bit of comfort and love sent from home.
Sincerely

My Child’s day care recently switched to your shelf stable Milk products. Is this milk from domestic cows? I.e. US Cows or does the milk originate in a different country.
Thanks,

DFI: All of our Grade 'A' shelf stable milks are from domestic cows. All of our milk is obtained from local family-owned dairies. Our milk is 100% natural domestic cow's milk with no artificial hormones added (rbST).

Loved this product. I originally bought for use when we travel without a cooler. When I was in a pinch I used it and it is great! Lasted a lot long than regular milk that I usually purchase. I will be buying more of this.

Just wanted to let you know that our church has recently joined the Angle Food Ministries and had our very first Distribution day. Among the food items in our Unit Menu was a box of Shelf Stable Vitamin D Milk. I have never heard of or seen this product but was very pleased when I drank my first glass. It is by far the best tasting milk I have had in a long time. It reminded me of the milk we used to get as kids. I am trying to find it in our area so I can buy a case or two of it. We have a small food pantry for helping those in need and your Shelf Stable Milk will be a great addition to it. I am telling everyone I see about your products. I am hoping to try the other Shelf Stable Milks as well.
Thanks

Subject: Shelf Stable Milk

Just purchased another order of milk for the Community Food Bank of New Jersey; this program is getting rave reviews from our agencies and they look forward to the monthly purchases. In our new world of skyrocketing food prices, it’s good to know that opportunities for quality food at good prices still are in the pipeline.

Hershey's 2% Chocolate Aseptic (21/8oz case)

Rated 5 stars- from Amazon.com post:
Great for sending overseas, March 12, 2008

This is a great product to send overseas for those chocolate milk lovers because it does not have to refrigerated. And its a lot better than the milk that they serve over there. I have been buying it for my husband and sending it to him. He even uses it for his cereal. He loves it. I would recommend this product to anyone.

Hershey's 2% Chocolate Aseptic (21/8oz case)

Rated 5 stars- from Amazon.com post:
Better and cheaper than the competition, February 23, 2008

Got this for my kids. Halfway through his first box my five year old announced it was better than the stuff with the cows on it. I agree, it is better. On top of that, the package contains more cartons than than the organic product for less money. Of course it's from cows not treated with rbST. Here are the ingredients: Reduced fat milk, sugar, contains 1% or less of each of the following: cocoa (processed with alkali), cocoa, carrageenan, salt, artificial flavor, vitamin A palmitate and vitamin D3. Chocolate milk is the only dairy product that I think tastes good with carrageenan in it. Most chocolate milks have it. It's made from seaweed, has been a food product for centuries, and adds a nice creaminess to the drink. In short, great product, great price, and great for the kids (especially when traveling.)

Great product! Good price for getting it shipped free..., February 21, 2008

Great stuff...reminds me of my days on the east coast near Hershey PA. Cheaper than the organic version... Not a great deal, but it is tough for me to go to the store these days with my schedule, so the convenience is well worth it. Great product!

Hello, My name is Richard Ansohn, I am currently serving in Iraq and was made aware of you shelf stable milk. I am trying to find out if there is a way I can purchase this product directly from you, or if there is a way for you to send several case's to us. We have several soldiers here who also are trying to get this product, and milk is not a readily available item here. Any information you can give me would be very helpful.

Thank you for your time

I am the BackPack Program Coordinator for America's Second Harvest of Kentucky's Heartland Food Bank and we use the shelf-stable milk in our backpack food bags. It is a wonderful product and the children love it. Our program is increasing tremendously and the need is greater. The concern is that we won't have the funds available to continue purchasing this product. It is so important to include the milk for the calcium and also to accompany the cereal put in the bags. A2H appreciates having access to such a great milk source that doesn't require refrigeration. Just wanted to let you know how important the milk is and how it is being consumed. It is servicing many children on weekends who might otherwise doing without. Thanks for producing such a stable product.

(Re: Hershey 2% White and 2% Chocolate Milk)

We received the milk today and I would like to tell you what a fantastic product it is. The texture and taste was outstanding. I tried it warm because that is how some of the students would be consuming it. Very nice!! Pamela A. Hittinger

I am in the army and currently serving in Iraq. One of my soldiers received several cases of your milk shipped from his wife. I was able to try your root beer and vanilla flavored milk and I loved it. I have drank the flavors of milk that the army has purchased from your company and I have enjoyed those flavors also. Before I deployed I was able to let my children sample the chocolate and strawberry milks and they liked them too. I have a couple of questions. How can I order your milk and how much does it cost? Would I be able to order and pay on line or would I have to call? Does your company ship to APO addresses? Thank you for your product. I would also like to say that the boxed milk that the servicemen and women are getting in the dining facilities over here do not even compare to your product. Thank you for your time.

Is there a way to get some of your milk sent to me here in Iraq? It's a thousand times better than any UHT milk in theater. A great product.

We were in New Orleans for 3 months and loved the milk. We are now back in Madison WI, but cannot find it anywhere. If you can tell me who might carry it in this area it would be appreciated.

I have a couple questions concerning the transport and storage of UHT milk-
1. We live in Texas and it gets very hot during the summer months, we will be transporting UHT milk fairly short distances (20 miles at most) in non-refrigerated vehicles from one location to another throughout these hot summer months, is this okay. All of the information I have read just says stays good at room temperatures?
2. If the product is refrigerated, but not opened, can it then be stored at room temperature again without going bad?

DFI: Our Shelf Stable (UHT) Milk products are able to withstand temperature variations wonderfully. Putting the product on shelf then in the refrigerator back and forth causes no harm to the product as long as the product remains unopened.

During last year's hurricane in Palm Beach County, we were given water, milk, crackers and ice, etc to get through a week without electricity. Now my daughter has a baby and we would like to stock up on these small milk containers, for the next outage or hurricane. It tasted great, is so convenient ...

I just had to comment on your milk product which comes in the small square carton. It's 2% milk in the blue container. Anyhow, I live here in Lake Charles, LA. Hurricane Rita hit here last year, & we were handed out food stuffs & etc. I drank your milk for the first time just after the hurricane ... I fell in love with the taste. I was just given about 15 small cartons of the milk since first trying it last year. These 15 cartons had an expiration date for this past July (2006), but I tried them anyhow with no disappointment. I drank the last one this a.m.. I had to comment on this milk product of yours ... There's no comparison with the milk products here down south. You would think that it'd be better down here but it's not! Is there anyway that I could get milk from you in the future if it's feasible? Please let me know.

I recently received a carton [quart] of milk in a box of groceries. I could not believe when I opened the carton how much like "real" milk it tasted especially when I noticed that the shelf life was way beyond "regular" milk [so to speak].

Hello DFI, I am a soldier in Iraq and would like to purchase your shelf stable milk. The milk they supply us here with is just plain nasty and we just can’t seem to get used to it. Some soldiers receive shipments from loved ones but it there is a weight limit in the boxes they send so they receive a few containers. Please let me know if there is a possibility of bring some of home here in Iraq.

Thank you

I recently obtained a 32 oz unit of the Borden's milk that is safe on the shelf until opened then needs refrigeration. It was wonderful...

Hi, I am Spec. Robert Coulter (Bobby), and I am writing about some milk that I recently received in a care package. The package touted an improved pasteurization and a package that eliminated the need for constant refrigeration. I had my doubts about it, but was glad to try it. We are stationed in north-central Iraq and we do get some milk, but it is all evaporated milk and nothing like the milk we all enjoy at home. I found your email address online, and I just wanted to write to say a few words of thanks for developing a product that tastes so much more like fresh milk, but in a form that can be shipped overseas and enjoyed by us. I recently enjoyed one of my favorite treats, chocolate chip cookies and milk. Others here preferred to enjoy their cereal without using powdered milk, but all around it was a big hit.

As a church containing a food pantry we are very interested in your self stable UHT milk product. When you lack refrigeration and have so many families in need this product would be fantastic.
