F.A.Q.

We work hard to make our Weekly Food Box program as convenient and worry-free as possible. Below you can find many common questions.

Yes! While food safety is always a priority for us, we are making sure all of our growers/employees are wearing gloves and hankerchief masks at this time.
We have also implemented a contactless home delivery option if you would prefer to social distance to the max we will deliver food right to your door! 
Also, all of our public Columbus area drop spots will now be done straight from our truck in large parking lots- meaning the only person touching your food box will be our driver (wearing gloves) and you!
Just head here and select one of our box sizes and delivery locations to get started.
We sure do! Members can log into their accounts here, click on the Account Info tab in the top right corner, and select the Referral Tab to get their own personal shareable link! Anyone who signs up for a subscription with your link will get a $10.00 credit AND YOU WILL TOO!

Home Delivery is a great hassle-free way to get your veggies/pantry items each week in a contactless way! $10.00 per home delivery.

If you have a 12x12x12 (30 quart) cooler please set one out! If you need to add one on for your first delivery you can do so here: https://yellowbirdfs.com/product/cooler-coldpacks. Just make sure to set the cooler out each subsequent week you are getting your order and we will place your items right inside! 

Columbus area: deliveries are Wednesday/Thursday- we will email you your specific route upon sign up. 
Mount Vernon/Findlay area: deliveries Friday.

Please log into your account and select preferences. You are able to add your dietary restrictions directly to your account. When that food item comes up we will try our best to substitute it for an extra veggie or comparable non-perishable.
Add-ons and store orders are delivered on whatever rotation you have set up with your account! Add-ons and store orders are packaged separately from your veggie box with your name label on them. Some locations keep add-ons in refrigeration so please reach out with any questions to see where your add-ons are located if you are having trouble locating them. Certain orders may be in bulk boxes (like eggs or milk) with each item personally labeled, while other orders may be in a separate bag/box with your name label on the entire bag/box. Please only take items with your name label!
**If you are still unable to locate your items please reach out to ybfs.help@gmail.com to help you locate your items before giving up!!

It is important to us that every single step of our food system – from the soil, to the animals, to our farmers, and to you – is treated with great value and care.
