The folks at Kuehnert Dairy Farm are looking to restore an old-time service. The local dairy farm and retail outlet at 6532 Cook Road are finalizing plans to offer home delivery. The milk even comes in glass bottles, like the milkman used to offer.
Kuehnert says they’ll make milk, flavored milk, cheese curds, and butter available.
They expect to bring the service online within the next few months.

Legacy Village cuts back operations
Legacy Village West African Cuisine is scaling back meals in Fort Wayne.
In a Facebook post, owner and chef Sasha Donati said the response has been slower than projected. They’ll still serve Fort Wayne, but just once a month after being every Sunday evening.
The focus of the restaurateurs is now on their restaurant in Muncie.
“It’s not easy for us to drive over an hour and 23 minutes,” Donati said. “This will allow us to better manage our resources and provide our authentic West African cuisine to the community.”
For about a month from their kitchen at 1025 W. Rudisill Blvd., Legacy Village cooked Liberian dishes such as goat curry, beef stew, peanut butter soup, sweet potato greens, vegan meatball curry, Liberian chicken wings, and jollof rice.
You can still pre-order at (765) 444-7013 or online.
