Welcome to Fair Shares Season 18 Wk43

Happy 2026! SEVEN more weeks until the end of Season 18

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.

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.

Update on Fair Shares!

We don't have much to say until things are signed and we have something to share, but we are proceeding as if, because we all want it to go. We are in the due-diligence part of it all and once the interested party says it is a go, we can then talk details. If they choose not to proceed, we do have a few other interested people and will do our best to create a transition of ownership that still supports our farmers, vendors, and most-fabulous members who have stuck by us to make Fair Shares work for us all. It might not be until the end of February that all the pieces come together, so we all get to fret together until we know. This is easy compared to some of the other challenges happening around us. Love to you all, your Fair Shares family.

Week 43

New: Mashed Potato Squash
Returning: Spinach, Cabbage, Kohlrabi, Regular and Sweet Potatoes, Japanese Turnips

Pictured: Mashed Potato Squash, Sweet little Sweet Potato, Spinach, Kohlrabi

Mashed potato squash is so named because it really has the solid, firm texture of mashed potatoes, and for some folks, that's a real game changer. Give it a whirl!

Winter Squash & Lentil Chili

A recipe is simply someone else’s idea of how to make something. I live by this quote. When I come up with a recipe for this group or any other recipe I will look at several different recipes and take parts of what I like and incorporate ingredients that I have. I rarely make a recipe as written. I hope you do this too. Swap out what you have in your share or your pantry... Read more

Pumpkin Energy Balls & Pumpkin Peanut Curry

1 pumpkin, 2 dishes
Cook the pumpkin (Instant Pot or Roast). Place cooked pumpkin in a high speed blender or food processor. Process until smooth. You'll need 1/2 cup for the protein balls and the rest for a peanut curry... 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.

FS18 Wk43 Shares, 1/21&22/2026

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 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.
