2 October 2026A Farm shop vending machine is a Vending machine, through which farmers and direct marketers sell regional products around the clock.
Function and area of use
Typical products are eggs, milk, sausage, meat, cheese, potatoes, vegetables and honey. The vending machine usually stands on the farm or by a busy road and needs a reliable power supply for chilled goods. Many operators also offer card payment so that customers without cash can buy too.
Because food is involved, the same hygiene and labelling rules apply as in a farm shop. These include temperature monitoring, labelling and registration with the veterinary office.
Advantages
- Sales independent of opening hours
- Direct marketing without intermediaries
- Additional sales channel without staff at the point of sale
Frequently asked questions
