What Will You Find In The Vending Machine?
- EggsThe vending machine is reloaded with fresh eggs from our own chickens on the farm. Depending on the time of year we do also have pullet eggs, which are the first eggs that young chickens lay before maturity. They are slightly smaller, but have the same great taste.
- HoneyThere is honey offered year round, which is made by our own bees on the farm. Their hives are located just behind the grain store and also dotted in other locations across the farm.
- Chicken FoodTo get a real sense of farm life, we also have some treats for chickens available, in the form of a cup of wheat infused with a dash of aniseed. You’ll notice the girls come charging over the second they see you with that cup in hand.

FAQ's
Occasionally the door doesn't open after payment, if you re-enter the locker number code then this will solve the problem.
Because you have made the wise decision to buy the freshest eggs available (ours), the eggs will last up to 3 months if kept in the fridge or 3 weeks if left in room temperature conditions. However we recommend eating them as quickly as possible to take advantage of all the benefits of eating fresh eggs!
The eggs in the machine are never more than 3 days old
Pullet eggs are the very first eggs that we get from our young hens as they are just coming into their laying cycle at around 18 weeks of age. You'll notice that they are smaller than the eggs you are used to seeing in the supermarket - but they are so delicious.
We are lucky enough to have 12 hives dotted around the farm, feeding on all the beautiful flowers on the farm and in your garden.
There are 60 of our older hens just next door to the vending machine shed and then the bulk of our flock is out the back of the farm, roaming freely in a 10 acre paddock and our 10 acre orchard. The only exception to this is when we are required to keep them inside due to bird flu.
