Welcome to Fair Shares Season 17 Wk11

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. Make sure that the time you want is in your order confirmation email. 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. If you have questions, just reply to this email. You can find past newsletters on the website here.

Fair Shares will be CLOSED 4th of July Week

Since the holiday falls on a Thursday, we will take the week off. That would be Week 14, so EVEN-week half shares, please note that you will have a month between next week's and your following pickup.
We don't want to order produce that we will have to donate. In the wintertime, this isn't as big a problem, but in high-produce season we have to charge you for the produce if you put your share on hold late. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.

Week 11

Blackberries and Blueberries are ready! Spring greens season is winding down and summer squash/cucumber season is in full swing.

NEW: Blackberries, Blueberries, Golden Beets, Fennel, Chives, Garlic, Iceberg Lettuce, Onions White/Yellow, Rutabaga

Turkey Zucchini Meatballs

Turkey Zucchini Meatballs
This recipe was actually for burgers but I don’t have buns so I made meatballs. They turned out beautifully and I think this recipe is best for meatballs because the meat was pretty sticky. You can try making burgers but they may fall apart..

Sizzling Mint Zucchini Salad

Sizzling Mint Zucchini Salad
This is a super easy side to whip up in about 20 minutes. We served it alongside burgers and it was a perfect contrast to the rich meat.

Garlic Scape Dip

Garlic Scape Dip
This is a great dip for veggies or toasts, crackers and bread. It also makes a delicious spread for a sandwich or filling for an omelet. Can you say versatile? Read more

Give the Gift of Food

Consider giving your share as a gift rather than putting it on hold during the summer. Our farmers appreciate it, and introducing your friends to Fair Shares is a great way to keep us sustainable.

People love to try new experiences. It's a great way to thank (or pay) your pet or house sitters while you're away!
Join our Facebook group to get help from seasoned members, ask questions about unknown produce you may have received, and share your food inspirations! https://www.facebook.com/groups/49485152740

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.
