Eggs and Milk came right from the chickens and cows. Thankfully, I was spared this lifestyle (thanks mom!).
Some of the earliest practical refrigeration on the farm (eg. the Icy Ball [1]) is from the early-late 1920s. That was during my grandmother's lifetime. If you think about it, the change in lifestyles she's witnessed in ~100 years is pretty bloody impressive: refrigeration, electricity, telephones, computers, etc.
