Smith Brothers Home Delivery

Making life easier for our neighbors since 1920 

Smith Brothers is the simplest, most reliable grocery delivery service in the Pacific Northwest. We're excited to announce that Alpenrose home delivery customers are joining the Smith Brothers community!

Alpenrose and Smith Brothers joined forces in 2019 to carry on our shared values in service, quality and community that began over 100 years ago. We're changing the name of our home delivery service in the greater Portland area to Smith Brothers, which will help us improve the service and quality of products we provide to you, and our customers across the Pacific Northwest.

Our service to you will not change

All of your order, delivery, billing, and account details remain exactly the same. You will have the same milkman/woman, delivery day and time, recurring items on order, and account login. The transition will be seamless.

What will change

Mostly, things will just look different. The service, products in the catalog, and our commitment to making life easier for our neighbors isn't changing. Here's what you can expect after the transition is complete:

  • Most dairy products will be Smith Brothers label.
    • All Smith Brothers and Alpenrose dairy products are produced locally in Clackamas, OR (Alpenrose local headquarters) and Kent, WA.
    • Swiss Supreme Chocolate Milk, cottage cheese and a handful of other products will remain in the Alpenrose label.
    • We will make the switch to Smith Brothers dairy products automatically. There's nothing you need to do.
  • You will get a new Smith Brothers porchbox.
  • The trucks in your neighborhood will have a brand new look.
  • The website and mobile app will be Smith Brothers (don't worry, they are nearly identical).
    • The Alpenrose website will automatically redirect you to the Smith Brothers website.
    • You will need to install the Smith Brothers app on your devices (the app stores don't let us do that for you).

Changes have already started (new porchboxes and new trucks!). The final transition is planned for late April. We'll send email and leave a note in your porchbox when the time comes.

What’s happening with Alpenrose
