Welcome to Fair Shares Season 18 Wk26

We'll see all Full Share, Mini Share, and EVEN-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.

LOGIN HERE to select your time and ADD it in your cart. If you don't receive a confirmation email, your order didn't go through. You may update your cart as many times as you like. 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.

This email is how we communicate with members. Please at least scan it so you know any important information, such as the notice below. If you have questions, just reply to this email.

Kirkwood Needs Volunteers!

Kirkwood Members, one of our amazing volunteers is moving and we are in need of finding a replacement to help get shares set up and handed out to members. If you have a few moments before and/or during pickups that you could commit, we would be most grateful!

Week 26

NEW: Golden Delicious Apples, Bok Choy, Collards, Kale, Mustard Greens, Bunch Radishes
Returning: Carmen Peppers, Tomatoes (Cherry Mix & Sungold)
We are back from our week off and we have fall greens! This is the time of the year where you will see more and more varieties of produce each week. A great time of the year to try new produce.

Stuffed Peppers with Meat

This recipe was created with larger bell peppers in mind, but will work well for other peppers, either hot or sweet, such as carmens and poblanos. Go ahead and make extra, so your dreams of more in the future will come true… Read more

Sauteed Eggplant, Okra and Peppers

Someone told us that okra is only slimy once it's cut, so the secret should be to cook it whole. Eating it whole may present more of a challenge, but if you really have a problem with the texture of okra, you now know the solution…Read more

Rustic Eggplant Dip

This recipe calls for anchovies, which a lot of people shy away from, but I think they deserve a second chance. I know the Italians use anchovies in many dishes, to add just a bit of salty, savory depth of flavor, without adding any fishy character. …Read more

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 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.

When you pick up, remember to read your bag for any messages. There might be a decision you need to make on something. We don't add the half gallon bottles of milk (or pizza at the Mothership) to your bag, so need to get it when you pickup.

SHARE HOLDS NEED TO BE MADE BY 8:00A.M. MONDAY

If you realize too late that you aren't going to be able to get your share, consider asking a friend if they'd like to take it--whether for payment as a gift (it's a great way to pay dog walkers or house sitters!). It also helps us recruit new members. You can also contact us to arrange another pickup time. But with the amount and value of fresh produce in the shares, we can't afford to purchase all the extras we won't be able to sell.

FS18 Wk26 Shares, 9/24&25/2025

Wildcard produce items in parentheses are not a choice, but rather a surprise. We try to let you know what it might be to help you with planning and ordering. PLEASE do NOT contact us about wanting a specific item because the produce bags are pre-packed and we don't have the ability to manage requests.

Wildcards or Choice in your list with a value indicate that you should delete it from your cart and select from the store to use up that value.
