Farm fresh milk:

| Does a body good. |
 |
| 24/7 |
 |
| Pointing the way. |
 |
| Catch-all "Products" have... |
 |
| ...so much to choose from including... |
 |
| ...eggs... |
 |
| ...potatoes... |
 |
| ...syrup... |
 |
| ...tomatoes... |
 |
| ...huckleberries... |
 |
| ...and jam! |
And in Zug, being the land of cherries, we have cherry vending machines (Kirschenautomat) :

| Not the best picture, but there are cherries in there... |

Today's poem is about the surprising availability of food in and around our home here in Zug:

something yummy

around our 'hood
ready to eat
something good
we stumble upon
machines with food
instant improvement
to our mood
a machine with milk
and veggies and fruit
dinner for three
via rural route

Amazing. Imagine all those vendor workers tending & re-filling! I guess this comes from the stores being closed. Thanks for telling about this, Bridget.
I love hearing about this kind of stuff. It's easy to forget that there are many ways to accomplish things, and that our way is just one of them.
Thanks, Linda! I think the farmers decide which products go in their machines when - and probably make the jam. Always a new surprise around here. =)
Thanks, Jeanette! I love that you appreciate my quirky blog posts and weird Swiss observations. Nice to have someone out their 'listening'. =)
I always enjoy your Swiss vignettes, Bridget. Thank you for sharing your observations with us.
Thanks for reading, Joan! I am intrigued by many things in Switzerland, I'm glad to know others are too. =)
