When I go to Belgium to visit my son and grandchildren we go to a dairy farm (one of many ) where you can buy from a vending machine fresh milk from the last milking period. You can also purchase bread from a large amount of vending machines in the evening and early morning when the bakeries are closed. I have not noticed any of these in the UK as yet.
