This is wonderful, and with the advent of the internet/easy telecommunication, it would be great to be able to order additional things as part of the delivery. I'm particularly interested in the reduction of packaging waste that this would enable.
I've got a local jam maker who creates truly wonderful products. She delivers and also can re-use jars; its one or two steps away from being a milkman type deal. Farmers markets are a great way to find vendors who can do this, at least in my little part of socal. I've got a nut guy, a baker, and a jam maker and I love supporting these kinds of local operations.
- enumjorge 6y agoI agree that our current situation might mean the milkman model is relevant again, and it would be interesting to see how tech could assist! But if I see some VC-backed startup try to do “gig economy for milk” I swear to god...
- nxc18 6y agoI very strongly agree with this sentiment. I was thinking more along the lines of a google sheet where you can check off what you want delivered. No need to complicate things.
