Our Story

Four Generations
If you've traveled south of Columbus, Ohio on US 23 you've likely seen the sign. Our family market began four generations ago in 1956 when Raymond Reeb and his wife Evelyn opened Reeb's Farm Market, bringing fresh fruits, vegetables and flowers to the Columbus area. Since then, four generations of Reeb's have continued the family tradition.

The Big Move
Ernest Reeb Sr. moved the farm market from 3602 South High Street to its current location at 10660 US 23 North in 1975 and our loyal customers came with us. It was all hands on deck for the Reeb family as they maintained nine greenhouses on 35 acres to supply vegetables and flowers to the community in the warm months.
In the winter you could find greenhouses filled to the brim with poinsettia and fresh Christmas trees, wreaths, grave blankets, homemade Christmas cookies made by Mrs. Jane Kuhlwein, and even Santa Clause filling the farm market with Christmas spirit.

The Present
Today you will find Buddy and Linda (Egbert) Reeb welcoming you along with their son Bryan (4th generation) and his wife Krystal (Dowdy) Reeb. You'll also see Buddy and Linda's grandchildren, Ayden and Jordyn, ready to help you pick out your vegetable plants and carry them to your car.
