신선한 샐러드를 병에 담아 파는 자판기가 미국 시카고에 설치됐다고 경영전문지 패스트컴퍼니가 전했다.

샐러드 자판기 ‘파머스 프리지(Farmer’s Fridge)’는 신선도를 위해 매일 아침 5시 샐러드가 추가되고 아침 10시까지 안 팔린 샐러드는 뺀다. 자판기에서 판매되는 샐러드는 8달러(한화 약 8500원) 내외다. 메뉴는 ‘고단백질 샐러드’ ‘지중해식 샐러드’ 등 7가지다.

유기농 채소를 제공하고 자판기를 나무로 만들어 친환경적이다. 샐러드를 담은 통은 다 먹고 난 후 자판기에 마련된 구멍에 다시 넣어 재활용한다.

자판기를 개발한 루크 손더스는 “나 자신이 웰빙식단에 목숨거는 사람”이라며 “일상생활에서 신선한 채소 먹는 게 힘들다는 것을 깨닫고 샐러드 자판기를 생각했다”고 전했다.

Vending machine sells fresh salads

Entrepreneur Luke Saunders has launched Farmer’s Fridge, a vending machine that sells fresh kale and strawberries instead of candy, Fast Company said.

Each morning, the machine is filled with freshly made salads and snacks packed in recyclable jars. At 10 a.m., the unsold food is removed to maintain freshness and refilled with new salads.

The ingredients, carefully layered to stay crisp throughout the day, are all organic, and locally grown when possible. The price is around $8.

“I have always been someone who sought out healthy food,” Saunders said. “I really noticed how hard it was to eat healthy when I was traveling a lot for work, and I started thinking about ways to give healthy food an edge in the market,” he added.

After opening two more vending machines last fall, Farmer’s Fridge is continuing to quickly grow.
