Old Homestead Dairy, W. W. Sargent and Son

Bar Harbor

Old Homestead Dairy. Both father and son are working the farm, dairy and routes. Brad Gray bought Old Homestead Dairy Routes and had Clarks SW Dairy bottle the milk. Later Brad sold the Old Homestead rights to Rinaldo Morrison. Walter Jr. had a nice looking bottle here (the pyro orange one). The actual barn looks like the one on the bottle which is not always the case. Bottle companies had generic graphics that farmers picked out of catalogs for their bottle designs usually. Those graphics were used from coast to coast and often weren't customized to the farm.
