Meatless Farm's APM Dispenses Free Veg & Plant-Based Food

— January 26, 2023 — Lifestyle
Meatless Farm launched the first Automated Plant Machine (APM) in the UK, putting a plant-based twist on ATM cash machines. This machine shares free vegetables and plant-based food, based on the stat that nine in 10 (87%) Brits don’t eat enough fruit and vegetables and are struggling to meet their recommended five-a-day.

The Meatless Farm APM debuted at BOXPARK Shoreditch and it promises to support those who are already participating in Veganuary, as well as others who want to pursue healthy eating goals. Inside the machine, there are fresh vegetables, packs of seeds to help people grow their own veggies, as well as Meatless Farm’s number one plant-based mince and recipe inspiration.

This APM promises to help remind people of the importance of eating a balanced diet powered by fresh, whole foods.
