Hudson Milk + Market — Local services in City of Peekskill

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to write a bad review for Hudson Milk Co. I am a firm supporter of local businesses, and my family eats local, organic produce and everything else I can access in this area that is healthy, local, and organic.

We found out about Hudson Milk in our search for grass-fed milk, and I was ecstatic - for a while. The milk is DELICIOUS... when it's actually fresh! :-(

However, the last two deliveries I received ended up spoiling way too quickly. It turns out that some of the milk they deliver is delivered RIGHT BEFORE the expiry date. Even when I contacted the company, and they agreed that the sell-by date was way too close to the delivery date, I received the same milk the next time. Poor, poor customer service.

The first time this happened, we received a delivery on 4/14. We got four containers of milk, and the sell-by date was 4/18 for all of them. Thinking it would be fine, we continued to try to drink them, but realized that they all spoiled by that date. My husband actually had the milk with his cereal, not realizing that it was spoiled... until he had the worst gastrointestinal distress that entire day and the next!!

Yes, usually, milk lasts a few days past the sell-by date, but for some reason, this milk DOES NOT last past that date. BEWARE.

We contacted Hudson Milk and were given a refund for the spoiled milk. We were told by Tom (our contact there) that we shouldn't have received milk that close to the sell-by date. He said he was upset at his employees and told them that they shouldn't have delivered that milk so close to the sell by date.

For our next delivery, we received the exact same thing - our delivery was on April 28th, and three out of four bottles had an expiry of 5/2!! Again, that's FOUR DAYS to drink THREE HALF GALLONS OF MILK. One single bottle had a sell-by date of 5/9. Why did we receive three bottles, once again, that would go bad??? When Tom had agreed that those dates were too close together? Apparently, they did not correct their mistake.

We contacted Tom at Hudson Milk once again, and were told that the milk should be fine. So we tried, in good faith, to believe him. We drank the milk, etc. But then, sure enough, by Friday 5/2, two of the bottles of milk were spoiled. Only the bottle we had consumed was fine (because we consumed it before that date). Only the bottle that had a sell-by date of 5/9 was still fresh and OK to drink.

For a company that totes FRESH milk delivery, Hudson Milk Co. does not, in fact, deliver fresh milk all the time.

Be wary. The products are wonderful when fresh, but freshness is certainly not guaranteed. Very sad to not support them anymore, because it was delicious...

Love and appreciate is an understatement!!! I just started their milk delivery service and I can’t say enough good things!!! Being new to this I totally missed my order deadline for the up coming week delivery ( totally my fault LOL) I called and asked if I could be squeezed in and would be more then happy to pay any extra for the inconvenience. I was told no that would not be necessary and was helped setting up all my further orders so I would not miss anything again!!! I will be a life long customer just for that alone being especially these days everyone is looking for an extra dollar and I was told no! Thank you so much for your understanding and amazing customer...

LOVE Hudson Milk Co. They not only deliver their awesome milk - the only milk my three girls will drink! - faithfully to our door each week, they also provide a wide range of other local, organic, farm/pasture-raised meats, eggs, cheese, and all sorts of other goodies. A veritable online farmers' market, right to our door. The products are first-rate, but so is the service and responsiveness: when I've missed the delivery cut-off, or needed some special cut of meat not on the website, I've emailed Tom and he has invariably contacted me back within an hour to accommodate my request. Don't know what we do...
