Turning off onto the back farm roads near Heppenheim Germany, along the Bergstrasse, I entered the drive of a sleepy old farm. Temperatures being high, I noticed elderly farmers kicked back in yard chairs dotted about the shade, taking a siesta.

More hand painted signs directed me to an old sandwich vending machine and instructed me that these eggs are from happy free walking chickens. Near the machine in the shade sat an elderly farm wife with her very friendly tiny Terrier. I stopped a bit and of course poured a bit of love on the pup and chatted a bit about my excitement over finding an egg vending machine. Of course my chatter was received with giggles and smiles. I get that a lot.

It is a simple process, find the item you wish, drop in the change amount and hit the corresponding number, slide the door and remove your farm fresh product. I was surprised to find not only were there eggs in the machine, but potted meats, fruit and veg too. All at great pices.

Since you don’t see and egg-O-matic every day, I had to share my adventure with you.
