Charlotte chef launches farm-to-fridge vending machines stocked with take-and-bake meals
A farmers market favorite is making farm-to-table food more accessible in Charlotte.
Thoughtful Baking Co. is launching farm-to-fridge vending machines that will be stocked with take-and-bake meals, quiche, small bites, and desserts — all made with locally grown ingredients.
Vending machines will be at Birdsong Brewing at 1016 North Davidson Street and Traditions at 4317-A Park Road.
Items available include chicken pot pie, veggie pot pie (vegan), shepherd’s pie (gluten-free), hashbrown crust quiche (gluten-free), traditional crust quiche, soup, salad, black-eyed pea hummus, pimento cheese, lavash crackers, and Luna pie (chocolate marshmallow, graham cracker.)
Everything is packaged in compostable, reusable and eco-friendly packaging as well.
“You no longer have to choose health or convenience for your family,” executive chef and owner Mary Jayne Wilson said in a news release. “Our meals are ready-to-eat, holistic, and comforting with ingredients harvested right here in North Carolina.”
