OUR STORY
We are a group of young Houstonians with budding families. Our concern about the quality of food we provide to our families led us to a wandering search. We stumbled upon the missing milkman.. geared him up with all things internet.. and now he is back!
Milk Run is an online platform connecting local farmers, bakers & artisans with neighborhoods to bring fresh essentials & more to your doorstep.
Wholesome goodness of fresh food + Convenience of the digital milkman = One happy neighborhood!
MISSION & VISION
An era of big box stores & hectic daily schedules has turned our families into passive consumers. Milk Run is here to disrupt the way we shop by bringing us closer to the hands that produce our foods. Milk Run aims to innovate the food space by moving food dollars locally to strengthen native economies. To “Go-Local” has never been easier as the local is brought to you.. neatly tucked in a Milk Run box at your door. Reconnecting to our sources, we refuse to wholesale our basics.
To freshness & to health. Cheers!
OUR APPROACH
To cultivate a community of fresh consumers we network them with the very best of (hyper)local providers. Our very own milkman then serves to make it accessible and sustainable. Keeping the link short helps us offer freshness guarantees like you’ve never heard. At Milk Run, we believe people deserve to know. An honest approach that celebrates convenience without compromising freshness, promotes local growth & saves you valuable family time.. all the while saving the planet. That’s a win-win-win-win situation!

FRESHNESS GUARANTEES
MOO TO YOU IN 48HRS
Fresh frothy creamy milk from the udders of Daisy, Dainty, Gerty, Molly and other cows not too far from Houston. Warmly milked, gently pasteurized, bottled & delivered next day. None can beat the taste of this udderly fresh milk. The only ones who get it any fresher are the calves. Jealous?
EGGS WITHIN THE WEEK
Gone were the days when hens were a backyard common and picking eggs was a daily affair. Well.. we are bringing those days back. From your very own backyards of Houston, we bring you ungraded fresh eggs laid last week by the happiest hens. Crack ’em shells & let the pan sizzle. Thank God for breakfast!
IN SEASON HONEY
A common cold killer, an anti-inflammatory, a medicine & a healer. But most importantly for us Houstonians; an allergy reliever. Most effective when taken in season from your very own Fort Bend, Harris, Waller and surrounding counties. An age-old remedy still very much young!
