Welcome to Fair Shares Season 18 Wk32

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.

Fair Shares Big News

Since we sent the email announcing that this will be the final season for Fair Shares, we have received so many nice notes of gratitude and love, and we thank you all for your kind words. We have had lots of emails asking where you can get some of this food we source once the season is over. We will be sure to keep you in the loop of where you might shop or what Fair Shares might become. We have a few people interested in keeping this afloat in some form. As we all learn more and can see if we are a good fit, we will let all you fab folks know where we will be eating next spring–none us wants to go hungry!

We will also keep in touch through through this newsletter with more information about the logistics of the wind-down of the season. In the meantime, thank you for trusting us to work out so many details week after week and year after year. We are so grateful for your support of our local farmers, vendors, and us in making this dream of ours a successful endeavor.

Cabbage Sausage Soup

Cabbage Sausage Soup
by Beth Sorrell

It’s soup season!
The most wonderful time of the year..
This soup can be made with whatever sausage you have on hand. I added 2 potatoes, but you can add carrots and celery, leeks, mushrooms, or even cubed winter squash.

Refrigerator Antipasto Salad

Refrigerator Antipasto Salad
I love refrigerator salads because you put in the work ahead of time, and reap the benefits for days. I love that this salad tastes better as the flavors marry. The trick to the staying power here is using chopped cabbage in place of lettuce! The cabbage gets tender, but still has a nice crunch. It’s just perfect... 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

FS18 Wk32 Shares, 11/5&6/2025
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.

Wildcards 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.
