In the same way that many vending machines make a variety of snacks and candies conveniently accessible to consumers, Farmer's Fridge offers healthy grab-and-go meal options.
Farmer’s Fridge, which sells fresh salads and breakfasts out of vending machines, recently added to its vibrant assortment of food with two new grain-based bowls. While the hearty Pesto Pasta Bowl is made with basil pesto without pinenuts, red onion, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella pearls and spinach, the Southwest Quinoa Bowl is a colorful meal made with a base of tri-color quinoa and plenty of vegetables.
These new products are the first non-chilled items from Farmer's Fridge and can be eaten as they are, or slightly warmed in the microwave.
