About this location
Farmer's Fridge runs as a vending machine near Gate 3 on level 3 of Terminal 1, a self-serve alternative to the counter service at Arrivals Eatery and Dunkin' Express close by. Grab-and-go salads and bowls come out of the machine rather than from a person behind a counter, useful for anyone passing through outside staffed hours at Downtown Market. There's no seating attached to the machine itself, just a quick stop between the gate and the walkway.
