We do love our milk bottles!

The Avalon dairy still sells milk in glass bottles, and each bottle has a $1.00 CDN deposit value. So naturally we binners love milk bottles. Avalon is an institution in Metro Vancouver, loved by almost everybody, because their stuff is so good. The fact it's good for us, and easy on the environment is a bonus. Avalon has been in continuous operation for 117 years -- currently in Burnaby, B.C., originally in South Vancouver.

Avalon is proudly certified organic, which probably means they're still doing a lot of the good things they were doing in 1906. Whatever they're doing it produces delicious milk. A small bottle of ice-cold Avalon chocolate milk on a hot summer's day is a real "made in Vancouver" treat. Click the images to enlarge them.
Avalon's Web site is cool!
