The family-owned Glaum Egg Ranch in Aptos is home to a unique vending machine that provides not only fresh eggs but a song and dance too. As the automated machine dispenses a flat of eggs, a curtain lifts on an adjacent window to reveal a chorus line of animatronic chickens dancing and clucking along to Glenn Miller’s “In The Mood.” The brief show is made all the more festive by decor and handmade costumes that celebrate the nearest holiday, from Valentine’s Day to Christmas. Egg Vendor Machine Hours Vendor open "Only" when main bottom gate is open on Monday thru Saturday 6:00 am to 8:00 pm. Closed on Sunday. $4. Bring 4 Crisp One Dollar Bills! Ranch Store hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday
