Weekly Produce Box FAQ

What if I am going out of town or will miss a box?

If you are heading out of town, would like to pause or cancel your subscription, or cannot pick your box up simply click the account button at the top right of the webpage (log in if you are not already logged in) then click "Manage Subscriptions" under the "My Account" header. Finally click on the "Manage upcoming orders" drop down. You will see the "skip shipment" options.  Note: we process payments on Monday, so please make any changes before Mondays for that week’s box. If you miss the cutoff for skipping that week's box email us at hub@argusfarmstop.com and we will refund you that week's box and not pack a box.
How do I cancel my subscription? 
If you would like to cancel your produce box subscription click the account button at the top right of the webpage (log in if you are not already logged in) then click "Manage Subscriptions" under the "My Account" header. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the cancel subscription button. Note: if you cancel your subscription, rather than pause, we will no longer hold a space for you and if you want to re-sign up you may be added to a waiting list depending if we are at our current capacity.
 

How does it work?

Our Produce Box is a collection of 6-9 produce items hand-selected by our committed staff, along with detailed information all about the contents of that week’s box, including recipes and information about the farms who are producing your food. Produce boxes are a great way to eat more local fruits and vegetables! Every week you'll be introduced to the latest seasonal produce our farmers have to offer, and you'll come to know the growers as well. It’s a convenient way to quickly integrate local food into your busy life.

If you would like to pick your box up curbside, we do contactless pickup at Packard. When you get to our Packard location to pick up your box send us a text at the store number (734) 997-5448 and we will bring it out to your car.

Can I use EBT to pay for my produce box?

Yes! Either sign up online or email hub@argusfarmstop.com and we will reach out to you to get you set up. We are currently participating in the Michigan Farm to Family: CSA program which means our produce boxes are 75% off when bought with EBT funds! The Michigan Farm to Family program is currently at capacity- please email hub@argusfarmstop.com and we will get you on a waitlist.

How big is the produce box?

The produce box will contain between 6 and 9 items every week. Each item is a typical "unit" you will see in store. For example, you will receive one bunch of kale, a half pound of spinach, 2 pounds of potatoes, or a quart of apples.

How will I know what is in my produce box?

Every week on Tuesday you will get an email with a list of roughly what will be in the box. This is a great reminder to order any supplemental groceries at the same time on our website.

Can I give the produce box as a gift?

Yes!  If you would like to give the produce box as a gift (what a great friend) just email Will at hub@argusfarmstop.com and we take care of this for you.
