Perrystead Dairy Cheese Vending Machine in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Perrystead Dairy, a four-person cheesemaking team in Philadelphia's East Kensington, operates from a distinctive garden setting with native plants and stone paths. Atlas Obscura reports they produce over five hundred pounds of award-winning cheese each week and hold multiple international competition titles. They've installed a twenty-four-hour refrigerated vending machine styled as a small red shed, stocked with cheeses, accompaniments, and utensils, taking credit cards around the clock. Located just five blocks from the Berks metro, it's become a destination for late-night cheese enthusiasts.
