AN Ardersier dairy has launched a new vending machine operation.

Connage Dairy is selling its own organic milk, both pre-bottled and for self-service customer refills from the machines.

The company is already known for its range of award-winning organic cheeses.

Open from 7am until 7pm seven days a week, and accepting cash as well as cards, the express machines not only sell Connage-produced milk and cheese but other local products including eggs, bacon, chutneys, biscuits, honey and even coffee.

Milk customers can buy a pre-filled bottle of milk or purchase a one-litre bottle to refill themselves each time they return.

Dairy Owner Jill Clark said: “While many customers still come into The Cheese Room where we stock a vast range of cheeses and other items, and many of our customers from further afield shop online, many people just want to come to a vending machine and take something away quickly.

“The fact that the Connage Express is open for longer hours than the shop also fits around people’s busy lives. During our first few days of opening we have seen a fantastic flow of cars coming along and customers seemed to be really enjoying the experience.”
