Welcome to Fair Shares Season 17 Wk49

We'll see all Wednesday and Thursday Full Share, Mini Share, and ODD-week Half Share members this week.

FINAL PICKUP OF SEASON 17!

A HUGE thank you to all of our members, volunteers, farmers, and chefs who supported us this year! It takes a community to make this organization run. Your support means a lot to us! AND… check out this gorgeous collage! This is just a small sampling of the fresh locally-grown produce we featured in Season 17. It was really hard to choose the photos, because there are SO many!

We'll be taking the last three weeks off in March, while the farmers are getting their Spring crops ready, and we'll restart with Season 18 at the beginning of April.

Shopping Day mid-break to restock will be Wednesday March 19th, from 3:00 to 6:00 pm.

Season 18 first pickup will be Week 1 on April 2 and 3.

Egg Shortage: Well, the egg crisis is real, and people everywhere have begun hoarding, making our normal egg quantities unavailable. In an attempt to mitigate this issue, we have limited the quantity of eggs that may be ordered from the store, but we intend to continue purchasing eggs at our normal levels during the break so members may come pick up eggs from the mothership throughout the break in addition to the scheduled shopping day. Sorry for the inconvenience, but thanks for willing to help make eggs available throughout our break for everyone!

There may be yogurt this week, but in case not, maybe it's time to make your own?

Please 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 resolve it on site when you pick up.

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.

Here's a video demo on how to make trades. Note that Farmigo has updated their system to allow you to click the items in your cart that have variations for you to select. Here's the link to LOGIN.

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.

Wildcards in the Shares

We offer "wildcards" when we have too small amounts of one thing to put in a particular share. When there is a $value after it, we want you to delete it from your cart and choose something of an equal value from the store to be sure you get something you like. Otherwise, we will surprise you! If it's a produce wildcard, it means we will surprise you, but may give you an idea of what you can expect to find.
