Milk and airplanes make for a unique combination today.
A faithful reader in the Belle Vernon area focuses on the subject of milk and other products at the United Dairy Farms outlets in the mid-Monongahela Valley.
“I remember going to the UDF store in Charleroi with my father when I was just a young girl,” said the woman who initiated the question. “It was at the far end of town initially and may have moved later, and I think there were other United Dairy stores in the area.”
