Farmer's Fridge
Finding it

Terminal 1 has 30 places to eat and 34 shops in this directory; the earliest opens at 5am.
Hours against the security queue

Queue figures are medians from FlyIndex's JFK wait-time record, not a live reading.
About this location
Farmer's Fridge on level 4 of Terminal 1 also runs off a vending machine, like the Terminal 7 counter, but stocks only grab-and-go bowls without the gluten-free option carried there or the sandwiches added at the Terminal 8 location. Level 4 puts it near the top of Terminal 1 rather than down near the gate rows, making it more of a last stop before boarding than something browsed on the way in. It's one of eight Farmer's Fridge machines and counters across JFK, narrower in what it stocks than its Terminal 7 and Terminal 8 counterparts.
One of 9 Farmer's Fridge locations at John F. Kennedy International Airport (Terminal 1, Terminal 4, Terminal 5, Terminal 7, Terminal 8).
