Southland couple brings back milkman tradition and it's what's in the bottle proving a hit

It’s a sight that will take you back to the eighties.

Straight from the cow to the bottle, raw milk is making its way back into homes in the deep south.

Farm Fresh South owners Logan and Melissa Johnson started the company in September last year, originally selling raw glass-bottled milk from a vending machine on their Southland farm.

They then added home deliveries, with already more than three hundred households signed up across Invercargill and Dunedin.

The couple estimates the business has avoided using 35,000 plastic bottles in less than a year.

"I think people, myself included, are waking up to the fact that plastic, especially single use plastic, is not a good option," Mr Johnson says.

However, there are risks with drinking raw milk, with infants, pregnant women and people with low immune systems, warned to not consume it.
