Item came from the Norman’s Kill Farm Dairy Company in Albany, New York.
Norman’s Kill Farm Dairy Co. was founded in the early 20th century by Charles P. Stevens, who was succeeded at the helm by his sons Mark and William. Its peak years of operation were 1920-1960, and many who grew up in and around Albany have fond memories of their deliveries. At the time of the dairy’s 50th anniversary in 1958, it boasted 158 employees, 51 wholesale and retail routes covering some 18,000 accounts, and 30,000 production units daily—milk, cream, cottage cheese, ice cream, and butter. While its farm was on the southern edge of the city, its headquarters and production plant were right downtown on Swan St., between Hudson Ave. and Jay St.
Item comes from clean and smoke free home.
