Frequently Asked Questions

More than just great farm fresh food.

Going Away?

Choose a schedule that is best for you:

 

  1. CHANGE LOCATION. Changing a delivery location allows you to pickup at another location within the same week.
  2. HOLD A DELIVERY. Placing a “HOLD” 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 CSA Market Boxes will allow you to select items for your box 5-6 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!

We are dedicated to making it easier for you to buy your everyday groceries from our family farm, local farmers, small businesses and food artisans. You can be confident in knowing what we offer is local. Click Here to See the possibilities for your box!

Reduce Food Waste

Hate seeing things thrown away:

Thinking you might waste too much food? We have the solution for you! Simply hold your box every-other-delivery or pause for a season of time. No need to ever cancel your subscription. Jump in and out when you want as we grow in our NW Ohio fields all year long. Which means that you can still get your hands on the farm fresh flavors that you’ll love! 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 $10,000 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.
  • Toledo community area.

What do I get?

Control your dollar value:

Farmer Phil has selected products for your CSA market box based on your minimum spend amount. You can choose to swap for higher dollar items or add more to your shopping cart.

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 system is set for whatever size box you choose as your spend amount. On the occasion that  items are in low supply they may have already been pre-built into the larger boxes. Therefore, you may not be able to get the extra items.

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! Beef jerky and beef sticks are other great freezer items to have accessible for when you get those ravenous cravings for a quick snack.

 

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 weekly June – October customization email just a day or two after you receive your CSA Market Box so we can get started. For the bi-weekly season November – May look for your customization email the following week after receiving your CSA Market Box.

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.
