We've had it off and on for probably 20 years. Way back, someone would take your "order" and go to the dairy Sat morning and pick up a bunch of milk and bring it to a tiny "market" that was put on at a little health food grocery store. Then Texas outlawed that purchase by proxy setup and you had to go to the actual dairy to buy your milk. We had a dairy where I did that for a while, but they eventually shut it down. Now we've moved out to the country and live near one of them, but apparently, it's legal to do the purchase by proxy thing again, but we just drive over to the dairy. You go into the walk in cooler, take what you want. You then write down your name, and what you "bought" and leave money in a box using the money that's already in the box to make your change if needed. It's completely on the honor system. You occasionally run into someone from the farm that's working, doing paperwork, cleaning, whatever, but most of the time you don't.
