Welcome to Fair Shares Season 17 Wk16
|
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, and then look for a thumbs up or confirmation reply from us.
|
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 an automated confirmation email, your order didn't go through. You may update your cart as many times as you like until we run our report at 10:30 Wednesday. 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.

We don't want to order produce that we will have to donate. With no-shows and extras already ordered for the store, there can be a glut of leftover produce.
|
|
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.

We have begun raising some prices, as you may notice. The holiday breaks really hurt our cash flow, as do summer vacation holds. We and our farmers do not get all the government subsidies that big ag and big grocery stores do, so absorbing inflation costs isn't working anymore. Please note that milk prices in the store are up this week, and those who have standing orders set up on their accounts will see that increase starting Week 17.

We could use some silver, insulated-bubble bags that we put ice packs in and businesses send your chocolates in so they don't melt. We appreciate you bringing them in and will let you know when they are no longer needed. Thanks!

Cucumber, Tomato, Peach and Corn Salad

Those of you who know me (Sara) may wonder what I miss most about St. Louis since I moved two years ago. Aside from the people, it's the seasonal eating of Fair Shares, particularly this season and this dish! … Read more

Share Your Shares!
|
|
Consider giving your share as a gift rather than putting it on hold during the summer. Our produce farmers especially 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!

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.
|
|
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.
