Frequently Asked Questions
More than just great farm fresh food.
Going Away?
Choose a schedule that is best for you:
- CHANGE LOCATION. Changing a delivery location allows you to pickup at another location. You can make this change within the same week as the original delivery or can move it to another available week.
- SKIPPING A DELIVERY. Placing a “skip” on your delivery will result in forfeiting that box for the week. You will not be charged for the missed box.
Want to decide?
Tell us your preference:
Not a fan of beets? Have lettuce left from last week? Customized market boxes will allow you to select preferences at sign-up and then customize each week 3-4 days ahead of delivery based on our harvest (see harvest schedule at bottom of this page). This will help you eat everything in your box because you’ll love everything you are getting.
Want “extra” items from the farm? With just a few clicks of a button, we’ll put those in your box. Which means less trips to the grocery store and more time in your day!

Reduce Food Waste
Hate seeing things thrown away:
Thinking you might waste too much food? We have the solution for you! Simply skip your box every-other-week. Which means that you can still get your hands on the farm fresh flavors that you’ll love! Creating less trips to the grocery store and more time in your day. You’ll never miss out because we’ll send you an email reminder for the weeks you want to stock your fridge.
Riehm’s takes waste reduction one step further and donates any surplus harvest to the community at several of our local pick-up locations. Resulting in over $10,00 annually in total products given to these locations:
- Findlay Community Churches. Provided fresh fruit and vegetables to help supplement low income individuals weekly.
- Brown Bag Food Project. Provided fresh fruit and vegetables to support people in crisis in Wood county.

Fridge full of food but nothing for dinner? 83% of our customers are telling us that their meal prep results have improved while utilizing a seasons worth of CSA Market Boxes.

What do I get?
Control your dollar value:
An algorithm selects products that have been rated according to member’s preferences. The price chosen for your CSA market box is a minimum spend amount – this means that when items are removed from your cart, the price remains the same until you add more to your shopping cart.
If the total value of the products in your cart is less than the value, you will see an alert screen to add product. You can choose to swap for higher dollar items or add more to your shopping cart until the total grayed out button becomes green again.
You can revisit the customization page to make changes to your box items as many times as you wish until the cut-off time. Click Here to See the possibilities for your box!
Why do i choose a bigger box?
Discover ways to be a smart shopper:
The computer algorithm is set for whatever size box you choose as your spend amount. On the occasion that you add extra items and those extra items are in low supply you may not be able to get the extra items because they have already been pre-built into someone else’s larger box.
For that reason it may be best to get a bigger box to start with. To get your money’s worth with a bigger box you can think about stocking up on proteins to conveniently have them on-hand in your freezer.
Other great items for your freezer would be to have cheese, maple syrup, ice cream, and granola to serve up at a moments notice! When you get those ravenous cravings for a quick snack beef jerky and beef sticks are great items to have accessible.
What day do I customize?
Mark your calendar now:
You’ll want to get out of fast food mode! Things take a bit of time when you’re eating quality food right from the farm. Therefore look for your customization email just a day or two after you receive your first box so we can get started.
Here is an example of the farm’s timeline:
- You will have 2-3 days to customize what you would like for the following week.
- Please allow the farm 2 days to harvest as well as place orders from others like dairy, eggs, bread, etc.
- Plus time to pack your box.
