Welcome to Fair Shares Season 17 Wk37
|
We'll see all Full Share, Mini Share, and ODD-week Half Share members this week.
|
(Note the ODD and EVEN half shares correspond to the odd- or even-numbered weeks of our season.)
|
Your assigned pickup day is [Delivery Day], but if you ever need to switch the day or location, reply to this email before 10a.m. Wednesday, and then look for a thumbs up or confirmation reply from us.
|
LOGIN HERE to select your time and ADD it in your cart. Make sure that the time you want is in your order confirmation email. If you don't receive an automated confirmation email, your order didn't go through. You may update your cart as many times as you like until we run our report at 10:30 Wednesday. Your share will be packed for you regardless of whether you make changes or select a time. The time just helps us organize and have your bags ready when you arrive.
|
Pro Tip: You can browse the store when it's "closed" by logging out of your account, but keep in mind that we update the store inventory on Tuesdays just before sending out the newsletter.

December Holiday Schedule
Ready for the year-end holidays? Hanukkah and Christmas coincide this year, so everyone will need to plan their menus for our final pickup the week before. Mark your calendars that we will not have regular Fair Shares pickups on Week 39, December 25 and 26 or Week 40, January 1 and 2. ODD-week Half-share members, this is your final pickup until Week 41 on January 8 and 9, so please plan accordingly!
|
We will plan a shopping day during the break for those of you who would like to restock on staples, and will be able to order in milk if enough people want it. Ozark Mountain won't deliver fewer than 30 jars--Jamie is sending an email to all members with a standing order, but if you are not on that list, please let her know if you will be in town and will want milk. We will confirm the shopping day date and time in the upcoming newsletter.

Week 37
We are seeing a drastic drop in available produce offered from our main farmer group. We are super grateful to this farming community and are glad our farmers get some much needed rest before a new planting season begins.
|
NEW: Kabocha Winter Squash, Brussel Sprouts on the Stalk vs bagged
|
Returning: Red Kuri Winter Squash, Peppers (Red Bell and Oxhorn)
|
|
|
|
|
|
African Peanut Stew 2
|
|
This is one of my favorites to make when winter squash comes in season. You can also use sweet potatoes instead of squash... Read more
|
|
Stir-Fried Cabbage
|
|
This is a super easy side dish or you can add protein and make it a main. Read more

Check Your Bags!
Please help us by confirming that the bag we give you has your name on it (sometimes we know your name, sometimes we think we know your name, sometimes we grab the wrong bag).
|
Also please scan the outside of the bag near your name for notes that might require we grab something from the freezer, or for you to make a choice. We can be easily distracted and miss something when handing out so many shares.
|
Check that you've gotten everything you were supposed to receive--if you're missing produce that we need to credit you for, that's a loss we'd rather not take if we can help it.

Notes on Trades and Orders
If you have questions or an issue to resolve, please email info@fairshares.org. Do not reply to the order confirmation emails that send to orders@fairshares.org account--WE DO NOT ALWAYS CHECK THAT MAILBOX BEFORE PICKUPS, so if you want a reply, use info@fairshares.org, which goes to both Jamie and Sara, and one of us will see it.
|
The share clipboards below will include the fresh produce on your list, but the cart in your Farmigo account lists only the tradable items in your share. You must spend the total credit value in your cart but you are welcome to buy extra. Any amount over the tradeable value will show as Extra Credit and you will be charged additional plus tax on that amount.
|
|
Please check the descriptions of items! Some things are sold by the pound (indicated by /lb. in the item name) so the actual price will be different from what's listed in the store. If what's in your bag is not what you were expecting, give it back. If you're at the Mothership, you may be able to choose something else. This is particularly important on items like bulk chicken breasts, where the item price shows the price per pound, but the package weight may be five pounds.
|
Pro Tip: You can browse the store when it's "closed" by logging out of your account.

We offer wildcard produce when we have too small amounts of one thing to put in a particular share. This allows us to fill our share numbers and use the produce our farmers have grown for us. We know it can be difficult just to be offered "wildcard" so we try to let you know what might be in your share. This is to help you with planning and ordering, but it is not a choice, so PLEASE do NOT contact us about wanting a specific item. The produce bags are pre-packed for each group, and we don't know which bags have which wildcard items. With five groups picking up in three locations over two days, and numerous volunteers passing out the shares, we don't have the ability to manage special requests.
